This DVD re-enacts the 17 most common General
Aviation accident types based an analysis of NTSB accident reports.
The accidents have been reconstructed based on subsequent
investigations, and they are presented in video format using
similar aircraft types, ATC recording, and actors. The accidents
have a common theme: human error. They are useful as teaching aids,
and they are especially valuable for flight isntuctors for use in
ground-school settings: The seventeen most common accidents are
presented as follows:
- Four preflight and takeoff accidents
- Four cruise and enroute accidents
- Four approach and landing accidents
- Five physiological accidents, such as vertigo,hypoxia, fatigue,
over-cofidence, and hangovers
Each of these scenarios carefully reconstructs the events leading
up to each accident type, using the same aircraft type, the same
airport, and the same pilot profile. In many cases, actual ATC
recordings of the pilot's voice are used, and the details of the
flight cover the pilots activities before flight, as well as during
the flight. Student pilots are shown the relationship between
attitude, preparation, judgment, and the inevitable result. These
flights are memorable; the viewer will never forget the
decision-making lessons contained in these videos.
What the Reviewers Say:
"It is unlikely pilots will view these tapes without
recognizing themselves in one of the 17 vignettes about poor
decision making. Highly realistic scenarios show pilots reacting to
stress, peer pressure, and even medical conditions that could
affect any pilot and lead to disaster."
-Alton K. Marsh, AOPA Pilot
"One of the best to come along in a while... And, more than
once, the pilots I watched the video with were quiet when they
pointed out items of which we all were not aware... it trains you
to spot emergency situations before they become critical."
-Flight Training Magazine
