FAQ-Session Part 7 – Handling Emergencies & The World of Cargo Flying

Episode 8 of Aviation-Quest.cc – Stories from Above wraps up the listener-driven FAQ series with two fascinating topics that reveal the depth of a pilot’s profession. Airbus A320 first officer Stefan Lorenz opens up to host Jürgen Reis about how airline pilots are trained to handle emergencies — mentally, technically, and as a team. From simulator sessions to real-life decision-making, discover how preparation turns potential crisis into controlled professionalism. In the second half, the discussion shifts to the world of cargo operations: Would Stefan ever trade passengers for freight? What are the differences, pros and cons, and does flying cargo mean more “hands-on” flying time? Naturally, the iconic Boeing 747 — the Queen of the Skies — also makes an appearance. Balancing adrenaline, insight, and a touch of aviation nostalgia, this episode is a powerful finale to the FAQ series — and a must-listen for anyone curious about the challenges, choices, and character of real-world airline flying.
