Title:
NAFI - How CFIs Can Evaluate Older Pilots to Keep Them Safe
Topic:
The Fastest Growing Pilot Demographic Is Age 70+. Is There Such A Thing As An 'Average' Older Pilot?
Date and Time:
Wednesday, September 20, 2023, starting at 19:00 Central Daylight Time (17:00 PDT; 18:00 MDT; 20:00 EDT; 14:00 HST; 16:00 AKDT; 17:00 Arizona; Thursday, September 21, 2023 00:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Dr. Victor Vogel, Aaron Dabney
Brief Description:
The fastest growing population among pilots has been in the age group 70 years and older. We will discuss, “to what extent does age impact the performance of the average pilot, and is there such a thing as an average older pilot?”
During this program, we will review how CFIs can focus efforts on improving the safety of flying by assisting the more than 200,000 pilots aged 60 years and older.
CFIs can help aging pilots:
- Maintain proficiency
- Recognize cognitive and physiological deficiencies as they arise
- Regularly reevaluate their personal minimums
- Adjust flying to accommodate the inevitable changes that occur with aging
If CFIs and older pilots do this together, we can continue to fly safely in our golden years.
