Brief Description:
Join us for A VIRTUAL cup of coffee, a donut, and a LIVE WEBINAR as John discusses what are referred to among professional pilots as Standard Operating Procedures, or SOPs for short.
SOPs generally start before the flight, and continue throughout the entire flight, ending after landing, when you taxi in, park the airplane and shut down on the ramp. They provide guidance to the pilots during each phase of flight, so the pilot(s) know what is expected. This results in a safer operation overall.
See how you can apply these to your flying, to be a better, safer IFR or VFR pilot, whether flying single pilot (SP) or as part of a 2-pilot crew. See what you think, and consider incorporating SOPs into your flight opererations!
Aviation safety will be discussed, and is central to the content of this presentation.
