All these prescriptions belonged to the pilot. All were in the plane and were being taken at the time

of the flight.




Buckle is tucked in between the seat cushion and the spring!




What is this?




Pilot was a fatality.

1. Lack of Maintenance2. Lack of Preflight3. Medical Condition4. Medications5. Get to LEX-itis6. Lack of Seatbelt/Harness use

You are thinking, “I would never do that”

… BUT



The Real Cause Was

Getting comfortable with poor habits.

He no longer saw anything wrong with his personal operating standards.



Lessons Learned

1. Re-evaluate habits

2. Never get too comfortable in our habits

3. Discipline to make needed changes

4. Allow others to evaluate us

Watch for complacencyEncourage safe operating standards

During flight reviews and aircraft checkouts, you must bring pilots with bad habits back into proper perspective.

2007 Weather Accidents


VFR into IMC



Why Are We Here?

Personal Flight

Pilot Related– Maneuvering– Approach and Landing– VFR into IMC

Future CFI Workshops will focus on maneuvering and

approach/landing.




How it Happens

1/2 SM visibility

1 SM visibility

3 SM visibility

5 SM visibility

10 SM visibility

1. Accuracy of estimating in-fight visibility

2. Pilot over-confidence in decision making

3. Willingness to take risks



Preventing VFR into IMC - Ideas for the future

Encourage pilots/students to make the Go or No/Go weather decision.



Ideas for the Future

VFR Not Recommended

Ideas for the future

Fly in or near weather




• Fly more cross countries• Combine lessons for longer cross counties• Multiple students to vacation destinations

What is the most significant causal factor decline that has been identified in General Aviation accidents since the Wright Brother Days?

a) Maintenance

b) Flight Operations

c) Ground operations

d) Flying under the influence of alcohol

Answer ~

d) Maintenance – Trend identified by the data sources mentioned previously.



Safety Trends Question #5 It is possible to identify certain segments flight

operations such as, takeoff, landing, and low altitude maneuvering during which there is an increased potential for accidents.

True or false? Answer ~True – For example NTSB statistics demonstrate

that over the past years a significant number of aviation mishaps occur when takeoff, landing, or go-around maneuvers are being accomplished.

Risk Management for

Flight Instructors



The pilot lost control after the aircraft touched down on one wheel, swerved sharply, hit several runway lights, left the runway, and came to rest in the airport boundary fence. The winds were 60-degrees crosswind to the runway at 32KTS with gusts to 40.

What caused this incident?



Risk Management – A Definition:

The part of the decision making process which relies on;

• situational awareness • problem recognition• and, good judgment

to reduce risks associated with each flight.



Teaching Risk Management

• Hazard Identification• Risk Assessment• Time critical framework• Risk Management Controls



Risk Assessment

3SM visibility – is it a risk?• For a student pilot?• 100 hr. VFR-only private pilot?• 500 hr. IFR pilot flying in the mountains• 1,000 hr. IFR pilot with 5 hrs experience in a glass

cockpit?• 1,500 hr. ATP pilot flying in busy airspace?

Where to Land?

• West at 10,500MSL• To Portland, Oregon• Cessna 172 (TAS 110KIAS)• Snow showers reduced visibility• 5:35pm local time• Fuel remaining is about 90 minutes.

What will you do?

Hazard Identification

• Pilot • Aircraft • Environment• Situation

www.skyvectors.com



Hazardous Attitudes and Antidotes

Anti-authority – Don’t tell me.– Follow the rules, they are usually right

Impulsivity – Do something – do it now.– Not so fast, think first

Invulnerability – It won’t happen to me.– It could happen to me.

Macho – I can do it.– Taking chances is foolish.

Resignation – What’s the use?– I can make a difference.

Time Critical Framework



Risk Management Controls

(1) Identify personal hazardous attitudes.(2) Learn to recognize and cope with stress.(3) Develop risk assessment skills.(4) Use all resources.(5) Evaluate the effectiveness of decisions.

Including Risk Management into Flight Training

• Situations to stimulate decision making• Practice problem solving • Create circumstances that make unsafe

judgments look appealing



Scenario Database

At 7:00PM, after an exhausting 3-day business meeting, you load the rental plane and file VFR for a 2-hr flight. You discover your only pair of reading glasses was left back at the hotel. You have no problem seeing distance but can’t read panel gauges or a chart very well. Weather is 3,500 ceiling, 5SM visibility with 15 kt crosswinds at your designation. If you depart in the next 20 minutes you can land before dark. You decide to:

A. Depart and fly to land before dark. Purchase a new pair of glasses at your destination.

B. Call the hotel, if they have your glasses go get them and takeoff late this evening.

C. Call the hotel, if they do not have your glasses, spend the night. Tomorrow purchase a new pair and fly takeoff.

D. Call the hotel, if they have your glasses, go get them, spend the night and takeoff in the morning.

What Would You Do?



Evaluating Pilot’s Decision Making

• Use a decision making process, (such as the DECIDE model) when making decisions that will have an effect on the outcome of the flight. Pilot should be able to explain factors and alternatives that were considered.

Detect – Estimate – Choose – Identify – Do – Evaluate

• Recognize and explain any hazardous attitudes that may have influenced any decision.

• Decide and execute an appropriate course of action to handle any situation that arises that may cause a change in the original flight plan in such a way that leads to a safe and successful conclusion of the flight.



Evaluating Pilot’s Risk Management

Assess the potential risk associated with planned flight during preflight planning and in flight.

• Explain risk elements with the given scenario and how each was assessed.

• Use a tool, such as PAVE to assess the risk elements.

Pilot – Aircraft – enVironment – External Factors



Evaluating Pilot’s Risk Management Assess the potential risk associated with planned

flight during preflight planning and in flight.

• Use a personal checklist, such as “I’MSAFE”, to determine personal risks.

Illness – Medication – Stress – Alcohol – Fatigue – Eating

• Explain how risks are likely to change as the flight progresses and options for mitigating risks.

Information on the D.E.C.I.D.E., P.A.V.E., and I.M.S.A.F.E. checklists can be found at: www.faa.gov > (search for) “Flight Instructor Training Module” and Advisory Circular “AC 60-22”
