I Think I’ll Have an Accident Today!
No pilot begins a flight with that intent but many flights end with a crumpled airframe, injuries, or even loss of life. Most pilots are not careless or reckless and most take their flying seriously and make an effort to act responsibly. Statistics show that at least three out of four aircraft accidents are related to human factors.
Often, skill in handling the aircraft and a sound understanding of aeronautical principles is not enough. Many skilled pilots have accidents because they made a bad decision, or made no decision at all.
This seminar is designed to provide pilots with some additional tools to aid in the decision making process. It is also intended to raise awareness of the need to identify and mitigate risk.
Upon completion of the seminar, an exam will be presented. A passing score on the exam will earn the Knowledge 1 credit for the FAA Wings Pilot Proficiency Program.
The seminar is produced and sponsored by Bright Spot, Inc. and is presented by FAASTeam Lead Representative Gene Benson. Gene has more than 30 years experience and 8,000 hours dual given as a general aviation flight instructor and has credentials including dean of an aviation college and instructor for a major domestic airline.
