Fly the Aircraft First

Outreach Guidance & Notes Document

2022/03-17-252(I)PP

 

This outreach guidance is provided to all FAA and aviation industry groups that are participating in outreach efforts sponsored by the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC).  It is important that all outreach on a given topic is coordinated and is free of conflicts.  Therefore, all outreach products should be in alignment with the outline and concepts listed below for this topic.

 

Outreach Month:  July 2023

 

Topic:  Fly the Aircraft First (SE 34)

The FAA and industry will conduct a public education campaign emphasizing the necessity for pilots to maintain control of their aircraft at all times.

 

Background

NTSB accident data suggest that pilots, while distracted by less essential tasking, have lost control of their aircraft and crashed.  In light of this pilots are reminded to maintain aircraft control at all times.  This may mean delay in responding to ATC communications and passenger requests or not responding at all unless positive aircraft can be maintained throughout.  In other words, Fly the Aircraft First!

 

Teaching Points:

  • Discuss the role of distractions and inappropriate priorities in aircraft accidents
  • Offer tips to maintain proficiency and control discipline.
  • Provide information on prioritization and dealing with distractions.

 

Note:  This outreach consists of this guidance and presentation notes document and a Power show.
