David St. George
Brief Description:
Featured speaker David St. George, a FAA Designated Pilot Examiner and Safety Team Lead Representative is returning to the Rochester Safety Stand Down event by popular demand! The main focus of his presentation is solving the enigma of why smart people (pilots) continually make stupid (almost predictable) decisions that result in accidents. The three big risk areas consisting of fuel management, weather and maneuvering have been pretty much been engineered out of newer aircraft like the Cirrus. But even with precise fuel indications, pilots still run out of fuel! Did they decide to do this, or did they lower their guard and not decide at all....we need a systematic approach to managing risk and at this exclusive briefing you find out how!
