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.

When we find ourselves tempted to react impulsively, we can remind ourselves to think first. Very real hazards are ignored for the sake of convenience or expediency. In addition to his 22 years of FAA service, Bob Wright has 9000-plus hours of flight experience and four turbojet type ratings on his ATP certificate. ", The same thing can happen in an airplane. Everyone from ventilation contractors to office workers is responsible for having the right attitude to ensure workplace safety. The key to maintaining a safe attitude is understanding the factors that influence each of these traits and recognizing situations when these traits may become prevalent enough to compromise our decision-making ability. Any of these stressors can alter our perceptions to the point that we are no longer able to make realistic evaluations. (See AOPA Flight Training, June 1999).

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. Perhaps our built-in sense of invulnerability is a survival mechanism that allows us to cope with the prospect of injury or death. To ensure our customers could pass the practical test, I and my successors at Eclipse quickly moved the higher order pilot training to the mentoring phase, which is not required by the regulations if you conduct all of the training in the airplane itself, rather than a simulator.I left Eclipse in February 2008, thus avoiding the companys final denouement when it came a year later. 0000013102 00000 n

Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. In an effort to decrease pilot judgment-related accidents, the Federal Aviation Administration teaches new pilots about hazardous attitudes that are believed to be incompatible with safe flight: macho, impulsive, worry, resignation, self-confidence, and antiauthority. Psychological stressors are probably the most common cause of allowing antiauthority traits to run amuck. An official website of the United States government Here's how you know. Physical and physiological stressors probably have the greatest influence on our perceived limits. In most situations, including many emergencies, it's better to take time to sort things out before committing to a course of action. H@pHKXDi! That the industry is clinging to these concepts may be as much due to culture as to bureaucratic ineptitude. Our program quickly obtained FITS acceptance from Washington and we thought we were on our way. I believe the energy for continued evolution in training methods must originate with industry and be supported by continued FAA doctrine changes and especially reform of the knowledge and practical tests. I was intent on creating a scenario-based training program, covering all the well-known elements of the Eclipse program, including initial type training and mentoring. Our program quickly obtained FITS acceptance from Washington and we thought we were on our way.From the beginning, our local FSDO folks were also hard-working but, in their eyes, the FITS concepts really didnt matter. Could the accident have been prevented if the pilot had conducted effective risk management by identifying, assessing and mitigating hazards using simple and common techniques? 942 0 obj 0000003978 00000 n

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. If you find yourself deficient in any of these areas, your decision-making ability may be compromised, and the no-go decision should be made. Physiological stressors are those that affect the functioning of our bodies and minds. Often, the need to react quickly is necessary in response to a changing situation. I immediately got to work creating a FITS-based program that would emphasize operating the Eclipse 500 single-pilot in the real world. Ensuring a minimum level of proficiency for all pilots to recognize and safely respond to hazardous weather situations.

Maybe I really was an accident looking for a place to happen. Yet, the knowledge test questions have only been partly updated to reflect the new doctrine and FAA has scarcely paid any attention to wholesale curriculum redesign, a change that would require active industry support.

The advantage of the case control methodology is that, instead of focusing on the factors that accidents have in common, and possibly being misled by characteristics common to most pilots/flights, it identifies characteristics that set accidents apart and contribute to their occurrence. What is risk management in the context of TAA training? When we hear the stall warning, we lower the nose, apply power, and level the wings. None of the real-world issues mattered-sweating fuel during an unexpected hold, dealing with practical risk-management issues, coping with descents into busy terminal areas.
