Caveat: Distractions while flying can be hazardous, often forging one of the most dangerous links in an accident chain.
Want to know more? Fly along with the Air Safety Institute “iPanel” Pilot Safety Announcement, which takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the modern electronic cockpit’s endless opportunities for distraction. It’s a satirical reminder that aircraft are still aircraft and need a pilot mentally aboard. Enjoy the ride and remember to fly the airplane, not the panel (www.airsafetyinstitute.org/ipanel-psa).
Airspace ‘on the go’ with e-Flash Cards
Learn the complex environment anywhere you go
Are you allowed to fly through an active Warning Area without contacting ATC? How about a Special Flight Rules Area?
Whether you’re cramming for your checkride or preparing for cross-country flight, it’s your responsibility to fly safe and make sure you know your airspace. Learning the rules that govern our sky can be a tedious task, and if you’re facing a checkride, describing complex airspace nuances may be a bewildering and daunting experience unless you’re prepared. That’s why the Air Safety Institute has developed a handy set of airspace flash cards, optimized for mobile devices, so you can study the various airspace dimensions and regulations and on the go.
From basic chart interpretation to understanding temporary flight restrictions, you’ll come away with important navigation facts before takeoff. The flash cards make it practical, easy, and even enjoyable for pilots at any certificate level to absorb critical knowledge and keep the different airspace categories straight. Each card includes a color depiction of the airspace, a description of its characteristics, and a discussion question.
Download the cards to your mobile device. Visit the website for updates as airspace changes can occur from time to time.
