As flight instructors you have the opportunity to exercise leadership in changing the way the aviation community thinks about, and talks about, aviation safety. The result will be insights that can be life-saving.
While discussions about safety are particularly important to general aviation, our current discussions on the subject aren't particularly helpful or insightful and can actually be counter-productive.
Aviation leaders often give platitudinous assurances that can't be true and tend to substitute for thoughtful and helpful discussions.
Additionally, the aviation community has developed a vocabulary about safety, that can be smug and preachy as well as demeaning and off-putting.
We will talk about positive, constructive tools that you can use as a flight instructor that are much more beneficial and productive. Finally, we will encourage you as flight instructors to exercise leadership to change the vocabulary of the entire aviation community.
Pilots throughout the world know John and Martha King from their fun video presentations in their courses and regard them as their personal aviation mentors. The Kings' use of technology and clear, simple, and fun teaching have made aviation knowledge more accessible to hundreds of thousands of pilots and maintenance technicians.
After an aircraft accident and discovering their own sense of vulnerability, John and Martha say they have become "born again pilots". The Kings use humor and stories from real-world cross-country experiences to vividly illustrate principles of risk management and pass along practical and insightful tools you will use and teach forever.
