Topic of the Month - Expanding your Horizons - Preparing for Unfamiliar Environments and Operations
Topic:
Training and Preparation Prior to Operating in Unfamiliar Environments
Date and Time:
Thursday, February 25, 2021, starting at 11:00 Eastern Standard Time (08:00 PST; 09:00 MST; 10:00 CST; 06:00 HST; 07:00 AKST; 09:00 Arizona; 16:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Dr. Kimberly L. Metris, FAASTeam Rep
Brief Description:
Studies suggest that a significant number of General Aviation accidents are caused in part by environmental unfamiliarity. The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee asserts that transition training and experience in diverse flight environments improve pilots’ ability to recognize and successfully cope with new flight challenges.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to safely step outside of your comfort zone to gain experience in unfamiliar environments and expand your proficiency and confidence.
We will review considerations for pilots operating in remote areas or over water, including operation requirements, survival gear and equipment such as Personal Locator Beacons and Satellite phones, and notifying a trusted agent of an itinerary and contact schedule prior to departure.
We will focus on best practices to maintain recency of experience, expand your flying skills with transition training (in various airframes, conditions, and destinations), and ultimately reduce general aviation accidents. This webinar will be presented by Dr. Kimberly Metris, a skydive pilot and tailwheel aircraft owner.
