A Military Perspective On General Aviation

摘要

For most general aviation pilots, military aviation is something of a mystery. The equipment usually is different-though many civilian designs have been placed in military service-and it's the rare GA pilot whose mission involves dropping or shooting things. Of course, the process of taking someone off the street and turning them into a pilot commanding several million dollars of often-le- thal hardware-after only months of training and a few hundred hours of flight time-is much more refined than most civilian flight training. But military aviation can offer several lessons for general aviation, especially when considering risk management.
