Accident Investigations and Discussion Flashcards

We study accidents so we can avoid accidents.

In 2018 there were 381 general aviation (GA) fatalities, which translates to an estimated rate of 1.029 deaths per 100k hours flown. Most often, pilot error contributed to the outcome.

In their efforts to lower that number, the FAA has placed a focus on risk management. They even published a “Risk Management Handbook.” They recommend the PAVE model, the 5 P’s model, and the use of risk matrices, all subjects discussed in this set of flashcards.

These 19 compelling stories discuss JFK Jr., the Space Shuttle Challenger, and the deadliest ever aviation accident, among other compelling stories. We cover all ten of the FAA's most common reasons for GA accidents. 

Our stories are short and entertaining, but highly educational, and unlike our other flashcards you will not be tested on the material.

We do think they will make you a safer pilot because a good pilot is always.......well we hope you know the rest of it.

LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS!

There is a famous saying: “Those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it.” This is absolutely true in aviation and a very easy way to learn from the mistakes of others are the Accident Investigation flash cards from Flash Aviation. These are quick stories, and easy to digest and remember, and just as important to assimilate as standard checklists. The whole purpose of the NTSB investigations is to find out why a crash happened so it hopefully doesn’t happen again. But if pilots don’t make the effort to learn the information and incorporate the lessons into their own flying, the skies (and ground) become that much more dangerous. These cards are a quick and necessary read and I highly recommend pilots make them part of their continued study.
