Title:
Pilot Deviation: It Happened to Me, Now What?
Topic:
Making a mistake in the air can result in a “pilot deviation” an/or enforcement action by the FAA against your certificate.
Speaker(s):
Winfreid Wilcke and Jon Prater
Brief Description:
Most pilots approach flying far more cautiously than they drive. They are much more concerned with mistakes in the air because those mistakes can lead to fatal accidents or serious injury, to the pilots, the passengers, and people on the ground. Aviation regulations exist because of the safety they bring, and adherence to those regulations makes it less likely for accidents and serious incidents to occur. When aviation regulations are broken, the FAA and the pilot community rally to find ways to change pilot behavior, to improve education, and to keep small mistakes from escalating into tragedy.
SCAPA has invited in two speakers to share an important story regarding pilot deviations. Pilot Winfried Wilcke and Oakland FSDO FAASTeam Program Manager Jon Prater will share the incident that caused them to meet, and will discuss “What happens next” after a pilot deviation has occurred. We’ll hear from both perspectives and have an interactive discussion with the audience members about what everyone can learn from their experience.
