At this point, you would be correct to ask, What exactly was wrong with the current general aviation training system? The training doctrine and paradigm in place in 2001, and still mostly in place today, is a relic of the Civilian Pilot Training Program begun in the 1939-1941 period just prior to the war. When we're tired or feeling sick, we may become overwhelmed. Background: Attitudes influence how people make decisions. In this model, we first detect a change or deviation from our planned action. 19th February 2020. Its just that they need to be empirically justified by how effective they are in preventing accidents while simultaneously addressing utility in practical flight operations.Our flawed training systemThe fact were still using training concepts from the last century is a result of many factors and, while its easy to blame the FAA, we might only have to look in the mirror to find part of the problem. 0000007644 00000 n While these terms all have negative connotations, each really represents a trait or characteristic embodied in the psyche of every human mind. When the resignation attitude develops, we must realize that we are not helpless and force ourselves to continue thinking and flying the airplane. When stressors mount, the attitudes that we normally keep in check may begin to adversely influence our decision-making ability. I served as the FAAs lead general aviation executive from 2001 until I retired in 2005. 0000005379 00000 n 937 0 obj Many people feel that accidents happen to those around them, but not to themselves. 0000004202 00000 n They feel justified by their anti-authority attitude by telling themselves that the rules dont apply in this given circumstance, or that they can get away with disregarding them. But I digress.A perfect laboratory, butAfter leaving the FAA, Eclipse Aviation offered me the job of Director of Customer Flight Training. Fundamentally, the key to effective TAA training may not involve the glass at all but rather the proper use of higher-order pilot skills-especially risk management. 938 0 obj For example, why did the pilot lose control? The top two Hazardous Attitudes were . Remember, too, that many cold remedies include alcohol as an active ingredient, so be certain not to use these before flying. Of course, not every incident is a result of unwise decision making; thats why theyre called accidents. Take mental note of all the factors influencing the safety of the flight. Often, the need to react quickly is necessary in response to a changing situation. Higher-order pilot skills, such as risk management, single-pilot resource management and automation management are either poorly considered or not addressed at all. 2023 Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Inspiration, advice, jobs found at WAI conference, Garmin GFC 500 autopilot approved for more aircraft models. <>>>>> 0000009613 00000 n Ensuring a minimum level of proficiency for all pilots to recognize and safely respond to hazardous weather situations. He shared case studies in which pilots made a series of poor decisions that led to fatal accidents, from lack of proper communication with air traffic control to misjudging weather conditions.

Before the hate mail gets out of control, let me emphasize that I still recognize the importance of traditional pilot skills, as long as they are part of a balanced program. Also, Middle Tennessee State University did some pioneering work with a combined private-instrument rating curriculum-with a single test-and the regulations have been changed to enable that option. In my view, this analysis was flawed since it tended to accept the NTSB primary and causal accident factors as the root cause of the accident. The decision-making process in-volves awareness of our situation. 0000006924 00000 n Which condition is responsible for the most NTSB weather-related accidents? A sudden wind shift, even at low speeds, can be hazardous on takeoff and landing because it can _____.

It was, and still is, a maneuvers-based test. That the industry is clinging to these concepts may be as much due to culture as to bureaucratic ineptitude. These attitudes, Anti-Authority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, & Resignation, often lead to poor judgment and risk assessment. If you haven't had adequate rest, don't fly. Macho, Anti-authority, Resignation, Impulsivity, Invulnerability Complacency can be most closely associated with. It is a mixed bag, however.The FAA has revised many of the training handbooks, such as the Instrument Flying Handbook, to address TAA issues and has issued completely new manuals, such as the Risk Management Handbook.

While I was in that role, I did not initiate controversial and counter-productive rulemaking initiatives involving training. When we find ourselves thinking that bad things only happen to other pilots (invulnerability), we need to think again. Pilots are often tempted to use over-the-counter remedies to mask the effects of illnesses such as colds, but these remedies may have side effects that severely affect our judgment and decision making. At least one of these applies to almost every accident, even in instances of technical problems..
