This brings us to the next point. FITS will not be stagnant. Unlike the current flight training system, which has changed very little over the last 60-70 years, FITS will evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of pilots and flight instructors.
Finally, FITS is not an ad hoc module to be discussed only at the end of an instructional program. Instead, FITS principles should be integrated throughout the training process. For many instructors, this will simply be business as usual. For others, FITS will require an entirely new approach to flight training. For those who count themselves among the latter, consider that FITS is an incentive-based program. While there is no requirement for you to change lesson plans or review FITS with your students, the benefits that accompany FITS will eventually make it the industry standard for pilot training. With that in mind, the FAA is encouraging all flight instructors to work toward building their own FITS training curriculum, one that uses scenarios to incorporate risk management, single-pilot resource management, aeronautical decision-making, and situational awareness into each instructional exercise.
Why is FITS Needed?
As mentioned earlier, flight training has changed very little since the dawn of regulated aviation. In fact, a private pilot trained to standards outlined in the Civil Aeronautics Regulations, circa the 1940’s, would likely do quite well in most operations required by today’s practical test. This is because many of the basic skills needed to pilot an aircraft have changed very little. However, the development of new technologies and a rapidly evolving airspace system have outpaced current training methods. Moreover, the FAA and the flight training community now have over a century’s worth of experience upon which to draw when determining how best to train pilots. While the military and airline communities have leveraged this experience, the general aviation community has been slow to make use of the lessons learned.

What has resulted from the GA community’s failure to adapt? In the vast majority of fatal GA accidents, the root causes were found to be a lack of situational awareness and poor aeronautical decision-making. Currently, pilot training standards focus less on these factors, and more on the development of mechanical, or “stick and rudder skills.” While such skills must never be neglected, most fatal accidents are not a result of deficiencies in these areas.
Finally, as if the higher number of fatal accidents and an increasingly complex operating environment weren’t enough, the number of technically advanced aircraft continues to grow dramatically. Cirrus Design is now producing 12 aircraft a week, while manufacturers such as Cessna, Piper, Lancair Certified, Mooney, and Diamond Aircraft are introducing “glass” cockpit systems to their respective lines of piston singles and light twins. Couple this with the new generation of single-pilot jets scheduled for production, and it becomes clear that training techniques rooted in the 1930’s and 40’s are woefully inadequate for the 21st century aviator.
