About the Speaker:
David St. George is a Designated Pilot Examiner and Chief Instructor at East Hill Flying Club in Ithaca. He had given over 9,000 hours of instruction in airplanes and gliders. David developed the NY State Approved Aviation Science Program at Tompkins Cortland Community College and was recently honored with the Eastern Region “Flight Instructor of the Year” Award. He is the author of the popular website “WickedPilotExaminer.com”
Almost than three-quarters (67 percent) of all fatal accidents
in the last 10 years occurred during maneuvering flight, which includes buzzing, formation flying, aerial work, stalls/spins, canyon flying, aerobatics, and normal flight operation. Basically, any type of flying performed close to the ground – the traffic pattern, for example – or involving steep turns and aerobatics is considered maneuvering.
Any discussion of maneuvering involves airmanship. This may be defined as the physical handling of the aircraft and the ability to put the machine just where you want it. Pilots lacking in airmanship, either because they are rusty or never learned, cause many accidents that can be avoided with appropriate training.
