A lesson from history for our Dynamics 365 training

 

Fifty-seven years ago today, a routine training exercise turned tragic, claiming the lives of nineteen people. On March 30, 1967, Delta Air Lines Flight 9877 departed from New Orleans International Airport for what was supposed to be a straightforward training flight. Two engines were to be shut down, and the trainee pilot would navigate the aircraft using the remaining engines, circling the airport before landing.

But the exercise took a devastating turn. Critical errors by the trainee pilot led to the aircraft crashing just short of the runway, striking power lines, demolishing two homes, and causing extensive damage to a nearby motel. The crash resulted in the loss of thirteen innocent lives on the ground, along with all six crew members.

This tragic event underscores the importance of effective training and supervision. In an era before sophisticated flight simulators, real aircraft were sometimes used for training exercises, as was the case here. However, the investigation revealed lapses in supervision and improper use of flight controls by both the instructor and trainee.

This story serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of inadequate training and oversight, offering valuable lessons for projects involving Dynamics 365 and beyond. It's a sobering reminder of the critical role of proper instruction and supervision in any endeavour.

Are you ready to soar with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform training? Strap in as we uncover the secrets to success in harnessing these powerful tools.

Do you have a flight simulator, i.e. a training environment where your users can learn without putting real data at risk?

Imagine having your own flight simulator for training, a virtual playground where users can explore, experiment, and learn without risking real data. It's not just about avoiding disaster; it's about unleashing creativity and innovation without boundaries. This is what you get when you invest in a training environment.

Too often, organizations gamble with their production environment for training, risking data integrity and reporting accuracy. But why roll these dice when setting up a dedicated training environment costs next to nothing? Don't let shortcuts sabotage your success.
