I would like to thank them for it along with the other “free” check-lists and syllabus. Reviewing the Private Syllabus I have found some errors that I would suggest they incorporate in the next addition. The errors are mainly in the references to chapters of the PHAK or AFH.

]]> Comment on Training Reform Committee Publishes Preliminary Report by Mark Jones Jr. http://www.safepilots.org/2011/06/training-reform-committee-publishes-preliminary-report/comment-page-1/#comment-158 Mark Jones Jr. Sat, 04 Jun 2011 01:08:06 +0000 http://www.safepilots.org/?p=5885#comment-158 Regarding #1. Air France can't even figure out the cause of its widely publicized fatal accident. Similarly, USAF pilots could not agree on the root cause of the fatal C-17 crash. Conversation about the Air France accident, on the other hand, establishes far more interesting theories. For example, read Rob Mark's blog post about the accident and you will find a passionate discussion about what may or may not have caused the accident. The thing about ideas is that they are free. Regulatory bodies do not frequently participate in conversations or share a variety of ideas. Similarly, open conversation about particular GA accidents will likely stimulate many ideas. If each pilot absorbs the lessons inherent in a variety of ideas, we will learn far more, collaboratively, then we would if we only read the official report. For example, if we have a discussion where many people may offer opinions such as, "what if the reason it happened was this_______?" Then we may consider how we should or may have responded to a variety of conjectures. I am not suggesting that regulatory bodies should not lead a discussion. I am suggesting that whatever root cause analysis report is issued will not have the wide variety of helpful, "hangar talk" conversations taking place--especially in forums like this blog post or on social media--and that such a conversation should, really, really should, complement such a report. Thanks, Mark Regarding #1.
