Flying a general aviation airplane is a productive, efficient and enjoyable way to travel. It is also a terrific hobby or sport. But like in any other activity that has the potential for injury, pilots must be aware of the dangers and take the steps necessary to increase safety.
Over the past twenty years, the airlines have greatly improved their accident rate by the development of carefully designed procedures. Some of these procedures can be adapted for use in general aviation, even single-pilot operations.
Safety is increased when the pilot has more information and awareness. The “Airline to General Aviation” series adapts some of those airline procedures to general aviation and provides practical ways that they can be a part of every flight.
