Flight Instructor Review Clinics: Flight instructors are required to renew their flight instructor certificates every two years. A Flight Instructor Review Clinic is a 16-hour course that allows the flight instructor to accomplish this requirement. In November 2007, AC 61-83 version F went into effect, providing more flexibility to Flight Instructor Review Clinic providers, allowing them to decide what the most important topics are and how much time to spend on each. There are still 15 core topics, but the instructors can incorporate them into their training course outline as they see fit. AFS is recommending that instructors allocate a two hour block of time for runway safety. This will provide guidance to flight instructors on runway safety techniques, which instructors will then pass on to their students.
.
Flight Tests: AFS believes that including specific runway safety questions on the pilot exam will increase runway safety awareness for pilots. They are recommending that questions target the airports that pilots are likely to fly into depending on their region and flying schedules. By allowing Designated Pilot Examiners to determine which questions to use during test administration, pilots will become more familiar with the specific airports’ runways they will likely use.
.
FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS): FITS is a joint government-stakeholder initiative developed for GA flight operations with technically advanced aircraft. FITS introduces proven concepts that are central to system safety into the training curriculum and allows training to evolve with the introduction of new advanced in-cockpit technologies. It allows for a structured, scenario-based training that is key to achieving a high level of safety. AFS is recommending that a runway safety component and a focus on situational awareness and improved decision-making are added to these standards.
.
Part 141 – Flight Schools: Implementing measures to ensure both flight school curricula and operations by inspectors emphasize runway safety, AFS will provide tools such as checklists and instructions for assessing runway safety at flight schools. AFS will also develop Program Tracking Reporting Systems codes to track/ measure inspectors’ activities and ensure runway safety issues are part of the inspection process.
6.3 FAASTeam
The FAASTeam will support the General Aviation Airport Surface Incident Mitigation Strategy at both the national and regional level. This will provide the guidance and educational information necessary to create a positive cultural change in the GA industry that assures airmen conduct ground operations as a critical phase of flight.
6.4 Outreach
National and International Summits: A National Planning Team comprising representatives from among the RRSPMs, the Runway Safety Office, ARP, ATO and AFS as well as advisors from airlines, controllers and pilots associations will be created to plan and organize the National Summit in FY 2009 and the International Summit in FY 2011. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址:National Runway Safety Plan 2009-2011(18)
