As aviation moves into its second century, aircraft accidents have become less common, but the rate of decision-based accidents has not decreased in comparison with mechanical-failure based accidents. This is especially true of General Aviation accidents, both in single engine and light twin aircraft.
Project Details
While the Federal Aviation Administration has emphasized the use of Scenario Based Training (SBT) in General Aviation flight instruction to address this issue, SBT lessons are not widely utilized and descriptions in associated handbooks of how to incorporate SBT are considered vague by many. In this preliminary study, attitudes of both ERAU Prescott Campus and non-ERAU faculty, staff and students toward the practical addition of Scenario Based Training to Commercial Pilot Training are examined by use of a short questionnaire.
