SUMMARY:COPA Critical Decision Making Seminar at FFZ
LOCATION:KFFZ-Falcon Field Mesa, AZ
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association (COPA)\nCritical Decision Making Semin
 ar\n\nMay 16th at 9:30am-3pm\nKFFZ-Falcon Field Mesa, AZ\n\n\n\n 
 \n\n\nDo you know how risky your last flight was Or how risky the one you a
 re about to take is Do you think anyone who ended up in an NTSB report didn
 t expect to arrive Do we necessarily have to live with increased risk becau
 se we fly\n\n\nA Critical Decision Making (CDM) seminar isnt really a semin
 ar but rather a facilitated interactive hangar flying session where the gro
 up looks at general aviation and Cirrus statistics, reviews case studies of
  Cirrus accidents, and participates in the reenactment of an actual acciden
 t. All pilots and operators are welcome to attend. The CDM is free, but don
 ations to cover costs are certainly welcomed.\n\n\n------------------------
 -------------------------------\n\n\nCDM seminars take an intensive look at
  general aviation safety, analysis of past accidents - including some Cirru
 s accidents - and create a formal method of conducting individualized safet
 y routines for each of our pilots. This is a highly interactive seminar wit
 h lots of thought provoking discussion and analysis. We want to encourage b
 road Cirrus pilot (and partner) participation. Non COPA members are invited
 . If you know some Cirrus pilots who don't participate here and/or are not 
 members, please invite them!\n\n\nDo you know how risky your last flight wa
 s? Or how risky the one you are about to take is? Do you think anyone who e
 nded up in an NTSB report didn't expect to arrive? Do we necessarily have t
 o live with increased risk because we fly?\n\n\nWe fly an incredible plane 
 with fantastic safety features on board, yet our statistics to date, aren't
  any better than that of general aviation. We know from commercial airline 
 statistics that it isn't the act of flying nor the capabilities of aircraft
  that cause accidents. IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE OUR FLYING AS SAFE AS COMMERC
 IAL AIR TRAVEL? We believe that answer is YES.\n\n\nA Critical Decision Mak
 ing (CDM) seminar isn't really a seminar but rather a facilitated interacti
 ve hangar flying session where the group looks at general aviation and Cirr
 us statistics, reviews case studies of Cirrus accidents, and participates i
 n the reenactment of an actual accident.\n\n\nAlthough we discuss and set m
 inimums, our decisions aren't usually black and white, but often quite gray
 . Combined with a lack of appreciation for risk and the confluence of other
 wise benign risk factors (no one thing in the flight meets the NOGO criteri
 a), our human nature minimizes risk or leaps to wishful expectation that ev
 erything will be alright. The seminar concludes with the group understandin
 g and quantifying the various factors that add risk to a flight and how to 
 minimize or eliminate the risk.\n\n\nThis isn't just for low time pilots. H
 igher time pilots often add useful experience to the discussion. And, altho
 ugh lower time pilots often lack the experience that aids judgment, higher 
 time pilots often use experience to justify risky behavior. Almost half the
  accidents in Cirrus, to date, have been by higher time pilots.\n\n\nThe se
 minar is free (though donations are accepted).\n\n\nCirrus Owners and Pilot
 s Association (COPA)\n
