This year's Safety Stand Down took place on April 17th and was a big success!
The Stand Down covers 4 topics that every pilot should review before they launch into summer flying. These topics are the cause of the majority of accidents during the summer season.
If you were unable to attend the live event, you can do it at your convenience from your computer.
First, review the handout material found here. (See the file at: https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2010/May/FAA_Safety_Stand_Down_Brochure.pdf) Then watch the videos at the links below:
