Pilot Flown Mishaps and Maintenance Miracles in General Aviation or General Aviation Incidents & Accidents –How They Happen and How To Prevent Them
Did you know this past year, we had several events:
- That were prevented from becoming accidents through the skill of the pilot
- That were caused by poor maintenance practices
- That were caused by a lack of preflight planning
- That involved professional aviators
We'll review a sampling of our events that occurred this past year and teach you how to not be a statistic!

By attending this seminar, and others like it, you can become part of the FAA Pilot Proficiency Award Program [also known as WINGS] by participating in a recurrent training program. This program was expanded in 2008 and developed for a higher level of safety by employing consistent recurrent training, which has been identified as a major factor in reducing General Aviation [GA] accident rates.
Remember, as part of this seminar program, WINGS is designed to help keep you safe, and by participating and staying WINGS current you may maintain a valid Flight Review. We appreciate your participation in this event.
Do you know your limitations? The seminar will also direct your attention to the Mid Island Personal Limitations Checklist to help teach “situational awareness " through the experiences of other pilots . . . help develop good judgment, . . . . and better understand what's legal vs. what's safe and smart.
