Part 1) FAA Info. Session - JOHN STEUERNAGLE, FAASafety Team, (FAAST) Program Manager - FPM
You’ll hear the latest from your local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) including, Local Safety Issues, General Aviation (GA) services and oversight, office contact, and appointment information. You’ll also learn the history of Safety Stand Down events and how you can participate in exciting continuation education projects for pilots and aviation maintenance technicians.
Part 2) Introduction to Human Error - JOHN STEUERNAGLE, FAAST FPM and Author of this year's National Safety Stand Down
There’s a lot to be learned from reading accident reports but it takes some digging and a little special knowledge to understand why mistakes occur and, more importantly how to avoid them or at least make their consequences less severe. This fascinating and entertaining look at the interface between the aviation system and the human mind is something no pilot will want to miss.
-John Streurenagle formerly worked with AOPA producing Safety Programming and then after joining the FAA was assigned as an inspector in Alaska. He is a Human Factors Scholar, and brings to the table a wealth of Aviation Experience and Pilot Knowledge.
