Abstract Knowledge construction is a result of awareness, complex information processing and operational expertise based on the flow of action/communication/confirmation in critical environments, like aviation. A flight is accomplished when we can reach from point A to point B with safety and operates in a communication continuum (air to ground, ground to air by means of communication devices, hardware indicators and sensors). The book focuses in flight realities in military and civil aviation. Transportation systems, and mainly aviation, is a growing sector in world economy and society. It is a sector with remarkable safety record and prominent publicity. This chapter explains the communication roots and orientation of the operating knowledge applied in aviation, as well as my personal background, aviation engagement and involvement in investigating tacit knowledge owned by pilots and air traffic controllers in their operating and decision-making process. In most cases, these experts claim novel status and ultimate jurisdiction over that knowledge, which this book is unpacking in a story-telling manner.
