Remedial Training: Getting Back in the Air in your Beechcraft

Course Description

Nothing strikes fear in a pilot like hearing “Possible pilot deviation, advise you call the tower.” In most cases, however, the reason for this request (or a letter from the FAA) is an honest mistake and may be resolved with penalty-free training. This presentation will cover:

• FAA’s change from a penalty-based to an education-based mindset
• How these changes affect us as pilots.
• The most common pilot deviations, and how to avoid them.
• Positive lessons from FAA Remedial Training.
• Lessons from compliance case history.
