Will Training Reform Help Reduce Fatals?

摘要

The mantra "train the way you fly and fly the way you train" has been popular recently, yet we continue training pilots merely to pass the knowledge and practical tests, rather than on how they will operate in the real world. These tests emphasize rote knowledge and performance of specific maneuvers, rather than instructive scenarios emphasizing higher order pilot skills. This results in a pilot's all-too-frequent failure to properly manage the risks inherent in typical general aviation flight operations.
