Title:
November Topic of the Month - CFIT
Topic:
CFIT Techniques and Technology to Prevent Controlled Flight into Terrain
Speaker(s):
Gary Burleson - FAASTeam Representative
Brief Description:
The most common type of pilot error in CFIT accidents is the pilot’s loss of situational awareness — failing to know at all times what the aircraft’s position is, how that position relates to the altitude of the surface immediately below and ahead, and how both relate to the course being flown. Situational awareness vanishes for a variety of reasons. It could be navigation equipment malfunctions; either known problems that distract the pilot or subtle issues that mislead the pilot into misguiding the aircraft. It could arise from limitations in human performance (e.g., illness, fatigue, stress) or in mechanical performance (e.g., high density altitude, tailwinds on approach). We'll look at ways to avoid these conditions including technology currently available to pilots.
