| Sorry, There's No App For That
|
| Since when did we become an industry of passive learners, perfectly content to sit quietly through another lectern-leaning, talking head presenter? Why do we see a continual divide between learning and doing, and why do we keep them separate in our aviation safety and emergency response programs? Enter the practice of experiential learning, commonly referred to as ELT for Experiential Learning Theory. This teaching methodology is quickly becoming the standard in academia and in technical training applications... Read More |

| Flight Safety Foundation Studies Data Collection, Urges Data Sharing |
| In an unprecedented effort by Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) to understand how operators collect and process safety information, the Global Safety Information Project (GSIP) is a first step toward developing a global standard for aviation data collection and analysis. While sharing data benefits safety analysis by contributing to a greater pool of operational information, the risk of legal liability may prevent some operators from participating. Protecting operators from legal proceedings is a focus of the GSIP project... Read More |

Ready for Performance-Based Navigation?
(Part 2) |
| In part one of the article series, Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) specifications were articulated in two main categories: area navigation (RNAV) and required navigation performance (RNP). RNP was established as having an additional requirement for on-board performance monitoring and alerting. By looking at availability of navigation specifications under both RNAV and RNP, it is possible to appreciate how the PBN concept is available for all phases of flight operations... Read More |
