How Not To Hit Stuff! Part 1 - Avoiding CFIT Course for VFR
It is difficult for a pilot to imagine flying an airplane into terrain or into an obstruction, but it happens far too frequently. And, it happens to pilots of all experience levels. This fully-narrated, interactive course explores some causes of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents. More importantly, it presents some practical ways for pilots to avoid this highly lethal, sudden ending to a flight. Several actual CFIT accidents are examined in detail. This program addresses CFIT in the VFR environment and is intended for the pilot who is either non-instrument rated, or is instrument rated but does not intend to exercise the privileges of the instrument rating.
Interactive quiz must be completed online prior to awarding credit.
