Ask Your CFI - Panel Discussion on Accident Avoidance
.. Discussion focused on accident prevention during the different phases of flight.
.. Pre-Flight planning - (14 CFR) part 91, states, "Each pilot in command shall, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight."
.. Taxing – might seem straightforward, but is far more intricate than it appears
.. Take off, Climb - this phase of a flight is relatively short, but the pilot’s workload is intense.
.. Cruise, Decent – cruise generally is less demanding, but requires well-trained crews, and awareness to possible human errors, equipment failure, wx, and decent preparation, being a tightly coordinated process that prepares the aircraft for an approach safely and efficiently.
.. Approach, Landing - the approach plays a crucial role in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. It is vital to have a procedural sequence firmly in mind and know what actions you'll perform on each leg of the pattern. The pilot should learn to cultivate a detached, yet alert awareness of their progress.
CFI Panelists – Joe Foresto, Ken Solosky, Greg Kesheshian, Gabe Nadasdy, David Tobachnik
