  2. CFI and Accidents Three-quarters (75%) of the inadvertent gear retractions that occur during flight training happen when a flight instructor is on board. Half (50%) of the stall accidents that occur during flight training have a flight instructor on board. One-third (33%) of the fuel starvation accidents during flight training occur with a flight instructor on board. Half (50%) of the mid-airs that happen during flight training had a CFI on board. Forty percent (40%) of the carburetor icing accidents in flight training had a CFI on board. Half (50%) of the wire strikes during flight training had a CFI on board.

  3. The Mental Aspects of Flying Aspect: A way in which a thing may be viewed or regarded

  4. The challenge then is to correctly ascertain the significance of what we are doing, or about to do, and what the outcome might be Everything that we are able to perceive, whether visually or mentally, has some meaning Easier said than done.

  5. WHY ??? • Some perceptions are ranked higher than others, in the normal course of events • Some are important, others are urgent • We have a tendency to revert back to a“Conditioned Response”.

  6. Aeronautical Decision MakingStarts Long BEFORE the Flight • Weather • Plane • Self Bottom Line: AM I SAFE ? >>>Options to the Flight>>>.

  7. EGO • Arrogance Plus Plane, Minus Caution, Equals A Foregone Conclusion……J.D. Wettering • After all is said and done, was the flight absolutely necessary when factoring in all of the elements • There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but are there old, bold pilots????

  8. NEW Meaning: Resignation….Quit…Give up...I’ve Lost...Denial Meanings ofHazardous Attitudes Resignation….What’s the use!!!!! Timid.

  9. NEW Meaning: Impulsive…..Hasty….Irrational…Sudden…Instinctive Meanings ofHazardous Attitudes Impulsive…..Do something quickly Some Good.

  10. NEW Meaning: Anti-Authority… Arrogant..Selfish..Defiant. Meanings ofHazardous Attitudes Anti-Authority…Don’t Tell me

  11. NEW Meaning: Macho…Overly Assertive Aggressive….Dominating. Meanings ofHazardous Attitudes Macho…I can do it

  12. NEW Meaning: Invulnerable….Can not be hurt.. A Very Real False Sense of Security Meanings ofHazardous Attitudes Invulnerable..It won’t happen to me

  13. What Some Fail to Understand • Most Accidents have been Pre-determined before the plane takes off • An accident, willing and able to happen • Think through the Consequences Before, During and After the Flight • If it helps, Draw Mental Picture of the Situation • When things change, you change What is your plan “B”……if you have one.

  14. Basics to Decision Making • Physical…..Impairments • Psychological…..What we have already created in our minds and what we can create during the flight • Denial..Resistance..Uncertainty ..Shock... AcceptanceHopefully Results are good.

  15. An Accident and What We Know • Night Flight….0345Z …. • Pilot is VFR Only • Wx getting worse…..ATIS ..X…..Y • Airport Challenging…..TAXI • No Personal Minimums • No Options for the Trip • Controller & Others Influence Decisions • A Very Powerful Airplane • No Apprehension About Making the Flight

  16. The Background of an Accident Three out of town friends, the Pilot and his wife having finished a late afternoon dinner, climbed into a Twin Cessna 320C for a return trip back home to Salina.
