Delivering a keynote topic each day, the Kings shared their revolutionary pilot training tips, developed from over 30 years championing the improvement of aviation risk management.  Their company, now the world’s leading producer of aviation training videos and software, is credited with teaching up to one-half of the instrument students and over one-third of all pilots in the U.S. obtaining training in the last ten years.

In the fourth part of our four part series from their event presentations, John and Martha King explain their C.H.O.R.R.D acronym, used to help pilots remember the final safety assessment prior to aircraft departure. 

This self-briefing checklist addresses critical departure items in order to maximize safety in takeoff, as well in emergency situations.
