Topic:
Teaching Stabilized Approaches and Go-Arounds; All Pilots Welcome
Speaker(s):
Karen Arendt, FPM; Eric Cook, DPE
Brief Description:
We’ll define and discuss stabilized approaches and go-arounds. Finally we’ll give you some tips and tricks that will help you to avoid loss of control in any aircraft. This discussion is an opportunity to collaborate and develop best practices, to mitigate the risks identified in the discussion, for both the Instructor and the student.
Together as a Team, the Instructors and Designated Pilot Examiners combined knowledge and experience provides the most effective pilot training and evaluation.
For many years we’ve been developing automation for general aviation pilots and we’ve encouraged pilots to use it. That’s led to a reduced “hands on” workload and increased situational awareness. Those are good things. But paradoxically, reliance on automation is beginning to erode basic pilot skills and, when the situation calls for pilots to take over, they’re often not performing as well as they would have if they were hand flying all along.
