Be SAFE

In May, I had the good pleasure of being a part of a great collaboration of the aviation community. It was the Pilot Training Reform Symposium, conducted by SAFE, the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators. Over the course of two days in Atlanta, we covered everything from growing the pilot population to improving the flight instructor corps to updating/overhauling FAA training/testing standards. 

Picture
The impact of the symposium was felt immediately as free pilot training syllabi (the lack of which was identified as a serious problem in our current training environment) started flooding to the Internet. HD videos of every panel presentation is now available on Vimeo, and a preliminary report of symposium outcomes and action items is also online. 

So I was there. I went; I saw; I ran my face. What was different than usual you ask? People listened! I went on behalf of Gleim Publications, and I spoke on the need to modernize the FAA knowledge test. You can watch my panel presentation here. Since you obviously care about watching me (laughs), you can fast-forward to about 6:19.

All in all, I think the event was a great success. We'll have to wait and see what renders long term. I think our personal company interests were furthered, and no one booed me offstage. We're gonna put that in the "win" column. In the iconic words of Hannibal from A-Team, "I love it when a plan comes together."

    Work Blog

    Everybody needs something to do. I have lots of things to do. This is where I archive them, reflect on them, and (sometimes) persecute them. 

    No, you cannot currently sign up to have this blog's deliciousness emailed to you. I have pledged myself to this effort though. Eventually, it will be done. In the meantime, just look for my updates on the social media. The links will drive you right back here!
