Title:
FAASTeam July 2024 Topic of the Month - Short Field Operations
Topic:
Don't Sell Yourself Short, Or Long For That Matter
Speaker(s):
Stephen (Steve) Bateman, CFI
Brief Description:
Background:
Mismanagement of short field operations is cited in many NTSB reports that involve pilots both with, and without, actual short field experience. It should be no great surprise that training and practice in short field operations will not only improve your short field landing and take-off skills, but also normal flight operations. It's all about precision and practice.
Inaccurate or incomplete performance calculations/expectations and improper short field techniques are cited as major causal factors, so additional training in short field operations will reduce loss of control and controlled flight into terrain occurrences.
Learning Points:
- The necessity of planning and practice for short field operations
- Predicting aircraft and pilot performance is essential to safe short field operations
- Training and practice with a CFI is the best way to prepare for all precision operations
- Use WINGS activities and flight reviews for the 4-Ps: Perseverance, Practice, and Perpetual Proficiency
