Controlled Flight Into Terrain
Technological advances in situational awareness have dramatically reduced the number of GA Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents. However, the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) has found that reliance on automation is a precursor to CFIT events. Awareness of automation limitations and pilot proficiency in flying with and without automation are key to safe flight operations. Download our FlySafe fact sheet (http://bit.ly/375h7rP) to learn more on how to avoid CFIT and improve your human/automation relationship.
Crew Resource Management
As a pilot, you know how challenging it can be to manage all of your available resources during flight. But if you master the magic of crew resource management, or CRM, you can take advantage of all of your sources of information to help ensure a safe flight. Learn about the five-step process to CRM, and pick up some helpful tips from John and Martha King at http://bit.ly/FAA-CRM.
