About this Presentation
A trained and practicing air crash accident investigator, as well as a practicing flight instructor in high performance aircraft used extensively for single-pilot IFR (SPIFR), Jeff Edwards reviews case studies, research and investigative findings to present techniques for improving SPIFR safety. 
 
Topics include:
• The role of systems design and limitations on aircraft mishaps
• Checklist and automation skills as risk management strategies
• Common themes to SPIFR accidents
• Answers to live viewer questions

Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar. This program is recognized for ABS AVIATOR and FAA WINGS credit.
Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech Bonanzas, Debonairs, Barons and Travel Airs, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
