Event Details and Registration

CFR 121.423 requires “Extended Envelope Training” (EET) for all airline flight crews to combat Loss of Control-Inflight (#1 cause of fatal accidents). This training is an ideal solution for GA safety as well. Our last webinar reviewed the aerodynamic principles behind these maneuvers. This time we fly them!

Sunday, November 17th @ 8 pm EDT

Extended Envelope Training (EET) expands a pilot's "comfort zone" and is an antidote to Loss of Control- Inflight (LOC-I) - the most common cause of fatal accidents. LOC-I is usually the last link in an accident chain that involves a pilot forced out of their "comfort zone." A pilot's "comfort zone" gets smaller over time with automated flight and passenger missions - when did you last do a power-on stall?  Take-Off and Turn-Out is where 90% of pattern accidents happen (not base-to-final). EET restores your maneuvering confidence with "eyes out, yank and bank flying!"

LOC-I may also result from inadequate preflight, poor decision-making, or just a surprise events like weather or air traffic conflict. The "startle response" of an unfamiliar attitude leads to less effective pilot functioning (or complete lock up). EET adds a larger margin of pilot safety. Comfort and control in a larger pilot envelope improves your everyday flying.

EET can also be a perfect segue into a full Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) course in an aerobatic airplane. EET is flown in a normal category aircraft with a local instructor. UPRT is usually in a fully aerobatic plane and requires a greater commitment of resources - well worth it. Thank you to Rich Stowell for being available to assist in this presention on this and answer questions. HIs website is a treasure trove of aviation wisdom.

Extended Envelope Training was originally developed as a method of "tuning up" pilots in flight training after their instrument training (40 hours of standard-rate turns and super-smooth flying) EET requires "eyes outside, yank and bank flying. This was designed as an antidote to the "compressed comfort zone of IFR and "automated control." It is flown in a normal category flight trainer in your local environment and should be only flown with an experienced veteran instructor who is comfortable with full control flying.

SAFE CFI-PRO™ was derived from an FAA FSDO program that reduced flight training accidents by 60% in only two years! This program succeeded by requiring only one day of additional training for all new CFIs. These proven CFI techniques accelerate a new educator's abilities from "good to great" by sharing master instructor wisdom with new educators (mentoring). The previous SAFE CFI-PRO™ presentations are on the SAFE YouTube Channel. 

SAFE (The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators) is an educational not-for-profit (501-c-3) professional organization with the mission of improving the aviation educational process thereby exponentially elevating pilot performance and aviation safety. Our major sponsor, ForeFlight, generously provides 1/3 off subscriptions for all SAFE pilot members. The free "SAFE Toolkit App" has resources for CFIs, pilots and even flight test applicants (Check-Ride Ready™).
