Avoiding Spatial Disorientation Webinar This webinar is designed to help general aviation pilots learn from the mistakes of others. Pilots generally don't knowingly engage in risky activities. But sometimes avoidable risks are taken through a lack of awareness or misplaced confidence. This webinar will examine several accidents in detail to explore the factors leading up to the loss of control resulting from spatial disorientation. The webinar lasts approximately one hour and is worth one Knowledge 3 Credit in the FAA WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program. Last offered: Tuesday, October 26, 2010, not presently scheduled This is a free event sponsored by Bright Spot, Inc.
I Think I'll Have an Accident Today No pilot begins a flight with that intent but many flights end with a crumpled airframe, injuries, or even loss of life. Most pilots are not careless or reckless and most take their flying seriously and make an effort to act responsibly. Statistics show that at least three out of four aircraft accidents are related to human factors. For more information on this webinar, click here. Not presently scheduled. This is a fee based event. The application of human factors principles to aviation safety goes back more than thirty years in the airline industry. The application of these concepts has made airline travel the safest mode of transportation on Earth. This webinar, part of the "Airline to GA" series of courses, applies some of the lessons learned in the airline industry to general aviation. This webinar begins by briefly explaining the origin of human factors concepts in aviation safety. It then presents twelve top causal factors of accidents, how to recognize them and how to mitigate their effects. Each factor is illustrated by an actual general aviation accident that occurred. This live webinar is fast-paced, lively, and entertaining. But most importantly, it provides information that can increase safety not only in aviation, but in all aspects of life. Participation in this webinar, will earn one Advanced Knowledge 2 credit for the FAA Wings Pilot Proficiency Program. Last offered: June 14, 2011. Not presently scheduled. Did you know that the Boeing Company almost ceased to exist in the 1930s because of a crash and that the company was saved when someone created the first checklist? Learn more about that story and how checklists have evolved into essential tools we can use today. This live webinar is intended to increase the pilot's awareness of how effective and efficient checklist usage can actually lower the pilot's workload and increase safety. Even the most simple airplane can be flown more safely by incorporating appropriate checklists. This webinar will explain why checklists should be dynamic documents, always ready to be improved or expanded. It will discuss the creation or revision of checklists for normal operations, abnormal operations, and emergency procedures. It will also show how the process of creating or revising checklists will increase better understanding of the airplane's systems and operation. The presenter for this webinar is Gene Benson, a professional pilot, former instructor for a major domestic airline, aviation educator, and safety consultant. Gene has been instrumental in the application of human factors concepts to aviation safety since the beginning of the movement. This live webinar is fast-paced, lively, and entertaining. But most importantly, it provides information that can increase safety for any pilot. The webinar will last approximately one hour fifteen minutes. Wings credit will be earned by being logged into the system for most of the event plus the pilot's participation in most of the short answer quizzes called polls. Participation in this webinar, will earn one Basic Knowledge 3 credit for the FAA Wings Pilot Proficiency Program. This is a free event sponsored by Bright Spot, Inc.
