Title:
Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Hybrid Event
Speaker(s):
Joseph Michael Lamonaca, Esquire, ATP, FAASTEAM Rep.
Brief Description:
Today’s aviators have the benefit of many tools to maintain appropriate clearance from the ground. There are electronic warning systems, including GPS databases and terrain awareness warning systems. Technological advances in situational awareness have certainly reduced the number of GA CFIT accidents.
However, the GAJSC found that overreliance on automation can be a precursor to many CFIT events. Awareness of automation limitations and pilot proficiency in flying with and without automation are key to safe flight. The bottom line is clear: Nothing can fully compensate for a pilot’s failure to plan carefully in advance, and to stay situationally aware and alert throughout the flight.
During this program we will review accident statistics, SMS, FRAT's, situational awareness, GAJSC recommendations, weather, and other current CFIT issues. Please join us for this invaluable presentation.
