"Do The Right Thing"
Do The Right Thing: Decision Making for Pilots, the AOPA Air
Safety Foundation's newest live seminar, makes its debut at 11 a.m.
on Friday, November 4 at AOPA Expo.
"Most pilots know that three-quarters of all accidents are due
to pilot error, mostly poor decision-making," said ASF Executive
Director Bruce Landsberg. "This innovative program is designed to
help pilots make sense of the whole complex subject of decision
making."
Do The Right Thing: Decision Making
for Pilots uses the latest DVD-branching technology to create
interactive scenarios. After viewing scenarios of both VFR and IFR
situations, audience members can choose which way the scenario
pilots should go, and then see the consequences of each
decision. The presenter then leads a debrief on the choices
made during the scenarios. (The scenarios are very realistic; one
in particular may be disturbing to spouses and non-pilots. Pilot
discretion is advised.)
Senior ASF presenter Pat Shaub will conduct a one-hour version
session of this on Friday in Rooms 13-15 at the Tampa Convention
Center, and again on Saturday at 3 p.m. in Ballroom A. When the
seminar is launched nationwide in January, it will run two hours
and feature even greater audience interactivity.
The AOPA Air Safety Foundation is the nation's only private,
nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to providing
continuing pilot education and safety programs for general
aviation. It is funded by donations from individual pilots and
organizations, which support the cause of improved general aviation
safety.
