The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s Air Safety Institute (ASI) has launched a new video series called Expert Insights.
The new series features interviews with specialists in their fields, who give pilots information on a wide range of topics relevant to general aviation safety, as well as tips they can use right away.
So far, ASI has released three videos, with more to come later this year, according to officials.
“We have put a lot of thought into this series, and we hope it will be informative and instructional to aviators across general aviation,” Mike Ginter, senior vice president of ASI, said. “Our first release, ‘Crash Considerations,’ launched in late January and features Melanie A. Folcik-Barillaro, an experienced flight instructor and accident investigator, who gives insights on how to best survive a crash landing.”
In the second video, “Risk Management,” US Coast Guard pilot Justin Moore explains how pilots can reframe the risk management equation by asking themselves four simple questions ahead of every flight.
The third series, “Survival Equipment,” features survival specialist Doug Ritter, who gives pilots tips on essential gear to have on board when flying over sparsely populated areas, and how to use it in the case of an off-airport landing and while awaiting rescue.
Pilots can earn FAA WINGS credit after viewing each set of videos by completing a 15-question multiple-choice quiz for each course.
In the coming months, ASI plans to tackle other relevant themes like pilot mental performance, mental health, NTSB investigations, and more.
ASI’s videos are available on YouTube here.
