Now that FITS is fully underway, figuring prominently in the Administrator’s 2004-2008 Flight Plan, other industry partners continue to expand the program. Adam Aircraft, Cessna, Garmin, Lancair Certified, Avidyne, and Diamond Aircraft are just a few of the companies now adding their expertise and experience to FITS, ensuring the program will continue to flourish.
Additional FITS Resources
As the FITS program evolves and new resources are introduced, pilots and flight instructors will have immediate, web-based access to FITS documents (such as the new FITS-accepted generic transition syllabus) through http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/fits. Also, the FAA’s Flight Plan for 2004-2008, which includes the FITS program, may be downloaded by visiting http://www.faa.gov/apo/strategicplan/FAA_Flight_Plan.pdf.
What can FITS do for me?
So the obvious question now becomes, “What can FITS do for me if I don’t fly or teach in highly sophisticated, glass-panel equipped, aircraft?” The answer…FITS concepts are as applicable to visual flight rules (VFR) operations in a GPS-equipped Cessna 172 as they are to the Cirrus SR-22 pilot flying under instrument flight rules (IFR). Risk management, aeronautical decision-making, situational awareness, and single-pilot resource management are skills essential in any aircraft cockpit, regardless of its complexity.
