This paper describes an idea of one approach to small aircraft safety increasing. The project was founded as reaction on numbers of small simple-engine aircraft accidents in the Czech Republic and their usual reason — human factor. Pilots and schools in the Czech Republic recently started to use glass cockpits which can be used also in other way than pure EFIS. Glass cockpit system could be extended by appropriate safety software modules. Software modules can be used in critical situations for flight analysis and giving appropriate advices to the pilot. Under this project was developed simple module navigating pilot to landing site when engine fails. Paper describes first version of EFIS with mentioned modules and also summarizes idea of designing system including testing approaches.
