Kiwanis Club of Pasadena E-Newsletter July 6, 2021 Meetings – Kiwanis Club of Pasadena E-Newsletter July 6, 2021 Meetings – Kiwanis (Zoom only) meeting, July 8h from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM – Captain “Sully” Sullenberger (Part II) was the keynote speaker at the Kiwanis International Convention on June 24th – we will show his keynote address – “"Courage can be contagious... Courage is doing the right thing even when it's not convenient." Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger became internationally renowned on January 15, 2009, when he and his crew safely guided US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency water landing in New York City’s frigid Hudson River. The plane’s two engines had lost thrust following a bird strike. Everyone survived with only a few minor injuries. Sullenberger and his crew received international acclaim for their “Miracle on the Hudson,” including the passage of a Congressional resolution recognizing their bravery. Sullenberger was ranked second in Time magazine’s “Top 100 Most Influential Heroes and Icons of 2009” and was awarded the French Legion of Honour. Sullenberger is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters” and also wrote “Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage from America’s Leaders.” Clint Eastwood directed the 2016 major motion picture about Sullenberger’s life, titled “Sully.” Tom Hanks starred in the lead role. Sullenberger is an expert in innovation in the face of disaster. He will speak to Kiwanians and CKI members on Thursday, June 24, about leadership and preparedness, particularly in times of change and challenge.

  • “Where-To-Land” Decision Function for an Expert Piloting System (EPS) for Piloted and Autonomous Air Vehicles (Phase II)
    Development of a “where-to-land” decision function for an expert piloting system (EPS) for piloted and autonomous air vehicles (Phase II) Principal Investigator: Jinu Idicula (NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center) Abstract: High Level Overview “We can’t do it... We’re gonna be in the Hudson.” Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. These words were spoken just minutes before Flight 1549 ditched into the Hudson River only minutes after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport on January 15th, 2009. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, had struck a flock of Canadian geese disabling both of its engines and rendering the aircraft a glider during initial climb-out. After a quick assessment of the situation and analyzing the options for his crippled aircraft, Capt. Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully”, a veteran pilot of 40 years and 19,000 flying hours, made a decision to attempt a water landing in Hudson. His decisions remarkably saved all 155 passengers on-board his aircraft as well as many other potential victims on the ground. In general, the commercial airline industry depends on expert pilots like Sully to make critical decisions in complex emergency situations. However, there are many situations which either the pilots are not as experienced as Sully, lack his exceptional situational awareness, or are encumbered by technological limitations (such as in a UAV). In these circumstances, a system that automatically makes the decision as to where to land, ditch, or even crash an air vehicle in order to minimize the amount of damage which occurs to the aircraft and the amount of damage and/or loss that occurs on the ground is needed.

  • When Employees Are Open with Each Other, but Not Management by Amy C
    ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE When Employees Are Open With Each Other, But Not Management by Amy C. Edmondson January 16, 2020 Image Source/Getty Images It’s human nature to grumble a little about the boss, the boring meeting, or some seemingly clueless directive from several layers above. Strictly speaking, such grumbling doesn’t cause real harm; everyone needs to vent now and then. But an organization is in serious trouble when most discussions on crucial issues take place in side conversations, rather than in formal meetings, where concerns can be addressed thoughtfully with people in a position to instigate a change of course. / Recent news reports on Boeing reveal what appears to be an epidemic of side conversations about the 737 Max jetliner. In private emails and instant messages, employees expressed rampant concerns about the Max during its development — and outright disdain for some of the decisions being made, technologies being put forward, and even for the company’s customers. The 117 pages of internal communications turned over to the U.S. Congress last week paint a damning portrait of Boeing’s culture — captured in persistent side conversations. Its employees derided airline customers as incompetent and “idiots,” and had similarly harsh words about regulators and Boeing senior executives. As Captain “Sully” Sullenberger noted in the New York Times, “We’ve all seen this movie before, in places like Enron.” Side conversations occur because people believe it’s not acceptable to tell the truth publicly. They happen because employees have learned that meetings are places where you go along with the boss or the majority, even if you disagree with what’s being decided or planned.

  • Statement of Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger Iii
    STATEMENT OF CHESLEY B. “SULLY” SULLENBERGER III Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation April 28, 2015 Thank you, Chairman Thune, Ranking Member Nelson, Chair Ayotte, Ranking Member Cantwell, and other members of the committee. It is my great honor to appear today before the Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security. I have dedicated my entire adult life to aviation safety. I have served as a pilot for more than 40 years, logging more than 20,000 hours of flight experience. In fact, just last month marked the 48th anniversary of my first flying lesson. I have served as an airline check airman (flight instructor) and accident investigator, and continue to serve as an aviation safety expert. And on January 15, 2009, I was the Captain on US Airways Flight 1549, which has been called the “Miracle on the Hudson.” On that flight, multiple bird strikes caused both engines to fail and, in concert with my crew, including of course our First Officer 1 Jeffrey Skiles, I conducted an emergency landing on the Hudson River saving the lives of all 155 people aboard. And Jeff is with us today in the hearing room. Jeff, I could not have had a better colleague that day or since. I saw the birds just 100 seconds after takeoff, about two seconds before we hit them. We were traveling at 316 feet per second, and there was not enough time or distance to maneuver a jet airliner away from them. When they struck and damaged both engines, we had just 208 seconds to do something we had never trained for, and get it right the first time.

  • Hero-Making As a Defence Against the Anxiety of Responsibility and Risk: a Case Study of US Airways Flight 15491
    Organisational & Social Dynamics 11(1) 59–78 (2011) Hero-making as a Defence against the Anxiety of Responsibility and Risk: A Case Study of US Airways Flight 15491 Amy L. Fraher* Abstract By examining US Airways Flight 1549’s glider-like landing on New York City’s Hudson River on 15 January 2009, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the psycho- and socio-analytic aspects of American cul- ture. Using system psychodynamics as a conceptual framework, the essay uses this case study to demonstrate how individual psychology, group dynamics, and systemic influences intertwined to tap a collective societal need for a traditional male hero to salve the cultural disillusionment created by corporate scandals, executive greed, job loss, and terrorist attacks in post- 9/11 America. Understanding how this phenomenon occurred helps us grap- ple with psycho-cultural factors that favour searching for a saviour over recognising collective responsibilities that encourage more collaborative approaches to crisis decision making. Key words: system psychodynamics, crisis decision making, heroes. ‘Everything I had done in my career had in some way been a preparation for that moment’. Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger III, US Airways Captain, Flight 1549, after landing his airliner on the Hudson River (Sullenberger, 2009a) THE INCIDENT On 15 January 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 departed New York City’s LaGuardia Airport at 3.25 pm en route to Charlotte, North Carolina. The co-pilot, First Officer Jeffrey Skiles, was flying the aircraft when, about ninety seconds after take-off, the Airbus A320 struck a large flock of Canada Geese, ingesting birds into both engines.

The Doolittle Raiders Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders America's First Response to Pearl Harbor On April 18, 1942, 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers launched from the deck of the USS Hornet to attack Japan. Led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle, the daring mission was America’s first response to Pearl Harbor and stands as one of the most courageous events of World War II. Although the raid caused minimal damage, American morale soared from the depths to which it had plunged following the Pearl Harbor attack. The surprise attack on the previously untouched home islands of Japan is considered by many historians to be a primary cause of the Japanese decisions that led to their defeat at the Battle of Midway only six weeks later. Planning for the raid was one of the most closely held secrets and the Japanese did not learn how the raid was conducted until after the war was over. Thirteen of the 80 men on the raid were from Texas, more than from any other state. §110.24.
