How Can We Reduce or Eliminate CFIT accidents ?
Date and Time:
Saturday, November 20, 2021, starting at 11:00 Eastern Standard Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Master Pilot Michael Windom
Brief Description:

According to the FAA, during a typical year there are around 40 CFIT accidents, about half of which are fatal.

Why do we keep flying into things?

During the seminar, we will review a few CFIT accidents and will discuss scenarios that are related to and causal of CFIT accidents including: VFR into IMC, Loss of Situational Awareness, Wire Strikes, IFR Procedural Mistakes, Distractions, and Unrealistic Aircraft Performance Expectation. We also will discuss how recent technology in the cockpit is helping to reduce CFIT accidents and what else we can do to reduce the incidents of CFIT.

Pilots of all experience levels are welcome including CFI’s, Student pilots, Newly Rated pilots, Experienced pilots, and Rusty pilots. Non-pilots that are interested in aviation and aviation safety are also encouraged to attend. The FAASTeam Seminars at KPCM are held as organized "Hangar Flying” with the focus on building a safety consciousness among pilots.
