GAARMS III
Saturday, March 22, 2014
9:00am - 12 noon

We will discuss the particulars of the 2013 accidents, and again, try to identify what efforts we, as pilots and an organization, can take to prevent these types of accidents in the future. The location of the symposium will be over at Picacho Hall on the ASU campus on the Williams-Gateway airport, same as last year. Watch for a FAASAFETY notice of the upcoming event, as well as in our newsletter, so stay tuned. GAARMS III will be a typical WINGS safety program on that Saturday morning, starting at 9:00AM, going until Noon. This is one great safety program you need to mark on your calendar.

Our goal for 2014 is to have the fatal accident number down to zero if at all possible. Sure, that sounds great, but is it an impossible task? We all recognize “S#%*@ happens”, and as pilots we must do everything we can to mitigate the risks of any accident becoming a fatal accident. You have heard me say over and over that simple things can help prevent an accident. Good maintenance of your aircraft, installing shoulder harnesses into older aircraft to protect all the occupants, a little more proficiency training, a little more education, flying smarter – these are some of the things that can help you become a safer pilot. Don’t be one of those really smart people who make simple stupid mistakes. Take pride in your flying ability, your safe approach to flying, and your great decision making.

Pilot airspace deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system. To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course on http://www.faasafety.gov/. Or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions. Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness and have a plan to keep it that way.

Thanks! A message from your local FAASTeam.
