ASRS Reports

First solo ends when student hits taxiway light

By General Aviation News Staff · July 28, 2021 ·

Plane ends up in ditch after too much rudder

By General Aviation News Staff · July 27, 2021 ·

ASRS Report Human Factors

Practice flight interrupted by jet

By General Aviation News Staff · July 14, 2021 ·

ASRS Report Human Factors

When the ADS-B showed +300 and very close behind us, I stated to the student “I have the flight controls” and descended and banked right. The pilot of the jet stated that he had us in sight, no factor. We then saw the Aircraft Y slightly below and to our left as he passed by.

Drone pilot forgets to get FAA authorization for flight

By General Aviation News Staff · July 13, 2021 ·

After realizing that I had not written down the authorization on my work order I immediately discontinued the flight and landed the drone.

Distracted pilot nearly lands on wrong runway

By General Aviation News Staff · July 12, 2021 ·

ASRS Report Human Factors

It’s not the people talking on the radio that will hit you, it’s the people that aren’t. A good scan is critical. Keep that head on a swivel and outside.
