Introduction
Flight training within the general aviation (GA) community has reached a critical juncture. While the industry as a whole enjoys an admirable safety record, recent statistics show an increase in both total and fatal accident rates. This fact, coupled with the proliferation of advanced technologies in small aircraft cockpits, has led the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take a critical look at how pilots are trained.
What is FITS?
In an effort to address the causal factors associated with many GA accidents, as well as the introduction of new cockpit technologies, the FAA has partnered with industry to develop the FITS program. FITS, or FAA/Industry Training Standards, offers a new approach to GA flight training, one that embraces concepts central to system safety. These include risk management, aeronautical decision-making, situational awareness, and single-pilot resource management. Instead of treating each element as a separate or stand-alone lesson, scenario-based training will be used to efficiently integrate these important concepts into every instructional exercise.
To maximize the benefits of this program, FITS will focus on the segment of general aviation that uses single-pilot, small reciprocating or turbojet/turbofan-powered, technically advanced aircraft for personal transportation. While FITS may offer advantages beyond this narrow scope, the justification for this focus is clear. Air carriers and larger, crew-served corporate operators currently have in place extensive training requirements. In addition, these communities enjoy a record of safety that is unsurpassed. While operational and regulatory differences pose unique challenges for GA, statistics have shown that structured, scenario-based training is the key to achieving the high level of safety enjoyed by the airlines and larger corporate operators.
What FITS is NOT
Realizing the need for support within the GA community, the FITS program has been carefully developed to avoid placing additional burdens on the flying public. Therefore, FITS will not encumber pilots with additional regulations and policies that make flying more difficult or costly. Instead, FITS will take a non-regulatory, incentive-based approach to improving flight training through superior guidance and innovative instructional programs. FITS is intended to raise the level of aviation safety by improving the quality of flight training. For this reason, it is important that all stakeholders actively participate and embrace the FITS philosophy.
Advanced cockpit systems will soon find their way into perennial favorites, such as Cessna’s new 172.
In addition, FITS will not evolve without input from the GA user community. Because flight safety is everyone’s concern, FITS program development will involve pilots, flight instructors, airframe and avionics manufactures, insurance providers, as well as research and academic institutions.
