MentorLIVE #23: The Kings On Straight Talk About Aviation Safety

Topic: This presentation provides a provocative approach with new concepts, new vocabulary, and fresh insights on risk management.

While discussions about safety are particularly important to general aviation, our current discussions on the subject aren’t particularly helpful or insightful and can actually be counter-productive. Aviation leaders often give platitudinous assurances that can’t be true and tend to substitute for thoughtful and helpful discussions. Additionally, the aviation community has developed a vocabulary about safety, that can be smug and preachy as well as demeaning and off- putting. We will talk about positive, constructive tools that you can use as a flight instructor that are much more beneficial and productive. Finally, we will encourage you as flight instructors to exercise leadership to change the vocabulary of the entire aviation community. As a flight instructor you are leader in the aviation community. As such you will have the opportunity to identify bad habits we all practice collectively and change them. Our collective bad habits have to do with how we manage aviation safety. In this course you will identify those bad habit and learn how to substitute new, more productive practices in their place. LIVEChat is available during this presentation. The Kings will answer as many questions as time allows.
