Title:
The Things Your Flight Instructor Did Not Teach You - Fly Like It Is Your Life
Topic:
Practical Decision-Making and Habit-Building to Reduce Risk In Everyday Flying
Speaker(s):
Justin Stieglitz
Brief Description:
We will focus on practical decision-making to reduce risk. We’ll begin with cockpit “flows” and how using them can improve efficiency, reduce checklist dependency, and prevent critical omissions. We will then discuss the difference between “legal” and safe. For instance, when pilots avoid controlled airspace or radio communication simply because they can. Attendees will examine common attitudes like “I’m VFR and staying out of the way,” and why that mindset can still introduce unnecessary risk.
The seminar also addresses a gap in traditional training: while pilots are encouraged to push their comfort zones early on, they are rarely taught when restraint is the better option or how to safely and intentionally expand their personal limits over time. Finally, it highlights four major factors that often lead to accidents among experienced pilots: Fatigue, rushing, complacency, and distraction and provides strategies to recognize and mitigate these threats before they lead to poor outcomes.
