Re: "Free Live Webinar! March 13, 2014" - FAASafety.gov

Free Live Webinar! March 13, 2014 Notice Number: NOTC5195 The live safety seminar comes to you! No need to travel, sit on a hard chair, endure uncomfortable temperatures, or be exposed to colds or flu! Join us for this informative program and earn WINGS credit! In-flight loss of control (LOC) has emerged as the number one causal factor for fatal general aviation accidents. On the premise that prevention is better than cure, this live webinar will focus on practical ways to help prevent in-flight loss of control rather than recovery techniques. In addition to the technical reasons for aircraft loss of control, this webinar will examine the human factors that are frequently cited as underlying causes in LOC accidents. Several recent accidents will be discussed and analyzed to learn from the mistakes of others. The webinar will last approximately one hour and is worth one Basic Knowledge 3 credit toward the FAA "WINGS" Pilot Proficiency Program. The webinar is interactive and can be viewed on either a PC or a Mac. A high speed Internet connection is required. Speakers are required. A microphone is required to participate in discussions. "Why Did They Do That? Avoiding the Loss of Control Accident" will be presented at three different times on March 13, 2014. You can choose the time that is most convenient for you. The times are: Session #1: Thurs. March 13, 2014 3:00 PM EDT, 2:00 PM CDT, 1:00 PM MST, 12:00 NOON PDT (1900 UTC) OR Session #2: Thurs. March 13, 2014 8:00 PM EDT, 7:00 PM CDT, 6:00 PM MDT, 5:00 PM PDT (2400 UTC) OR Session #3: Thurs. March 13, 2014 11:00 PM EDT, 10:00 PM CDT, 9:00 PM MDT, 8:00 PM PDT (0300 UTC)   For those not able to attend one of the live presentations, an online course will also be available. The featured presenter is long-time flight instructor and FAASTeam Lead Representative Gene Benson. There is no need to register for this event on FAASafety.gov. WINGS credit is issued based on webinar attendance.   Registration is limited to the first 1,000 for each session.

Fwd: "FAAST Blast" - FAASafety.gov

FAAST Blast Notice Number: NOTC5163 FAAST Blast — Week of Feb 03 – Feb 09, 2014 Biweekly FAA Safety Briefing News Update FAA Hosts General Aviation Safety Summit             On Jan. 27, 2014, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta hosted a GA Safety Summit in Washington, D.C., to discuss how to jumpstart safety initiatives for this year’s flying season. Representatives from across industry and government attended including those associated with manufacturing, safety, agriculture, parachuting, experimental aircraft, pilots, and helicopters.             In line with the NTSB’s recommendations for GA safety in its latest “Most Wanted List,” summit attendees agreed to work together to raise awareness to prevent weather related accidents. The FAA is also working with industry on a prototype program to use de-identified GA operations data to help identify risks before they become accidents. Also announced at the meeting was a policy that streamlines the process for granting approval to use Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM). The new policy establishes a more flexible and efficient process that will allow the FAA to customize its evaluation for RVSM based on the circumstances of the applicant. For more, go to: www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=75826.   New Airman Certification Systems Working Group Formed             In support of its initiative to improve airman testing and training, the FAA recently announced plans to form the Airman Certification Systems Working Group (ACSWG). Under the auspices of the industry-led Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, the new working group will provide expert assistance and industry views to the FAA's Flight Standards Service (AFS) on the development, modification, and continued alignment of the major components of the airman certification system. This includes ACS documents for certification and ratings, associated training guidance material, test management (e.g., test question development), and reference materials (e.g., inspector guidance, FAA orders, Advisory Circulars). The FAA is accepting requests for participation in the working group through February 28, 2014. The ACSWG is expected to develop a report describing its work on each of the listed elements no later than December 31, 2015. For more information, see the Federal Register notice published on Jan. 29, 2014, at http://go.usa.gov/BBSH.   Brushing Back the Dark             We humans have always adapted to our environment and our circumstances through technological means. In other words, we use technology to bridge the gap between what we would like to achieve (such as flight), and what our bodies will allow.             In his article about the latest strides in night vision technology, author James Williams “brushes back the dark” by comparing and contrasting the two most prominent types of vision enhancements — light amplification and alternate wavelength — and what this might mean for the future of general aviation. Our advancements “[have] enabled us to do what we couldn’t 100 years ago — see clearly or, for that matter, fly in the dark.” To learn more about it, check out page 20 of the latest FAA Safety Briefing at http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/.
