10 Things Other Pilots Do Wrong
Let's be honest: When it comes to our fellow pilots, we've all got our pet-peeves. Maybe it's the "helpful" right-seater who can't keep his hands off the controls. The chatterbox who treats the CTAF like a party line. Or the genius whose prop blast creates a hurricane in your hangar every time he taxis by.
Well, here's your chance to air those grievances, learn a thing or two about safety, and - just maybe - get a new perspective on your own (undoubtedly minor) imperfections. Join us for an entertaining, educational look at the things you told us drive you nuts about "other pilots."
What Went Wrong?
Sometimes the cause of an aircraft accident is obvious. Other times, it takes everything from CSI-style forensics to old-fashioned sleuthing to figure out where things went awry. The Air Safety Foundation's latest seminar looks at general aviation accidents through the eyes of the investigator--starting at the scene and working backward to reconnect the shattered links of the accident chain.

Here's what pilots are saying about our safety seminars
"...a pilot who saw the TOLDs seminar last year says that she thinks our advice to "land straight ahead" may have saved her life this past year when she had an engine out. She uses the technique we teach of "spring loading" herself on every takeoff, and so she was able to instantly respond when the engine did fail. Even was able to stay on the runway!"
"A very potent presentation. Left me with a few, but powerful tools that I feel I could stick to in an emergency."
"The best I have been to — this was extremely beneficial."
"Good, fast-moving presentation — very practical with varied examples."
"Very good presentation! The instructor had the audience thinking through the entire evening."
