  3. Airports & Airspace “Home Base Syndrome” “Towered/Non-Towered Bias” “Bravoitis” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 3

  4. Home Base Syndrome “Diversity of experience far outweighs convenience or efficiency.” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 4

  5. Home Base Syndrome Overreliance on local landmarks Degrades proficiency at unfamiliar airports. Decrease in safety/increase in incidents & accidents Promotes bias against other airports. Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 5

  6. Home Base Syndrome 4 class D, 1 class B and numerous non-towered airports within 50NM KSTL, 1H0, KSET, KSUS, KCPS, KALN, H49 (Sackman), 3K6 (Shafer), KBLV, M71, KFYG (Washington), KFES, H07 (Highland), K39 (St. Clair), 3LF (Litchfield). Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 6

  7. Home Base Syndrome More realism— an enroute phase/mini IFR cross country flight...file the trip! More diverse landing experience. Experience more traffic situations “Getting the best product takes time & money.” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 7

  8. Home Base Syndrome DPEs: Choose airports other than the normal routine to add realism Avoids pre-canned checkride. Tests applicant’s ability to deal with unfamiliar airports. Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit

  9. Tower/Non-Tower Bias “I only fly out of towered airports. Uncontrolled fields are dangerous!” “I never go to towered airports. I’m more comfortable at uncontrolled fields like the one where I learned to fly.” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 9

  10. Degrades safety & proficiency during potential Emergencies/Diversions This bias comes from socialized behavior. We influence our students and promote these attitudes. Tower/Non-Tower Bias Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 10

  11. Advice from the Tower: Be good at the basics. Get ATIS before you call… Listen! Don't be sloppy with phraseology. Detailed taxi instructions.  If you read it back incorrectly, they need to correct you. Tower/Non-Tower Bias Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 11

  12. Bravo-itis “The Blue Circles of Death” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 12

  13. Bravo-itis “VFR pilots shouldn’t go in the Bravo…they don’t want us bothering them” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 13

  14. Bravo-itis Advice from the TRACON Fly in the Bravo Airspace! Use Flight Following. They have everything you need, just ask. Consider the runways in use at KSTL. Be patient and use the W’s Transitions are safer for everyone… Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 14

  16. Training & Proficiency “One of the greatest ironies of flight training is that we train locally, but we fly far and fast…” “You’re only local if you live here.” Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 16

  17. Training & Proficiency Get training and experience from local experts. Get weather advice from local pilots/instructors Study unfamiliar airspace & charts. Fly and train at local airports AT NIGHT! Local Issues - 2011 Aviation Safety Summit 17
