You Are The Terrain Beneath My Wings
Topic:
CFIT - Controlled Flight Into Terrain
Speaker(s):
Craig Patterson
Brief Description:
CFIT, Controlled Flight Into Terrain, is one of the deadliest and most frequent General Aviation accident causes. According to the FAA, during a typical year there are around 40 CFIT accidents, about half of which are fatal.
During the seminar, we will review a CFIT accident and its cause. We will also discuss scenarios that are related to and causal of CFIT accidents including: VFR into IMC; Loss of Situational Awareness; Wire Strikes; IFR procedural mistakes; "Hot-Dogging" and Unrealistic Aircraft Performance Expectation. We will also discuss how new technology in the cockpit is helping to reduce CFIT accidents and what else we can do to reduce the incidents of CFIT.
