Title:
June Topic of the Month After-market Safety Equipment
Topic:
Safer Flight Through After-market Safety Equipment Upgrades
Speaker(s):
Jay Seward, FAASTeam Representative
Brief Description:
The world of aviation technology has changed. To cite an example, General Aviation now has airplanes made of advanced composite materials where the pilot station is a digital suite of equipment. Many of these new systems and displays can be retrofitted into older airplanes making those aircraft safer and more reliable. Dollars spent on these changes are not wasted as the upgrades have the potential to dramatically improve your safety and survivability. Seatbelts, flight data monitoring, enhanced vision, synthetic vision, angle of attack systems, and electronic ignition systems are but a few of the many upgrades available discussed in this topic of the month.
