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.

Psychology of Approach and Landing - Online Course

Recent statistics show that 37% of all non-commercial fixed-wing general aviation pilot-related accidents were categorized as either descent/approach or landing. Pilots of all experience levels and certificate levels are involved in these accidents. This unique course goes beyond the usual discussion of approach and landing accidents and looks at three psychological principles that might become a factor.

This course is aimed at both instrument rated and non-instrument rated pilots. It includes a quality presentation, three interactive learning interactions, and a quiz. Successful completion of the quiz is required to receive FAA Wings Credit.
