In our new online series, The Finer Points, CFII Jason Miller gives you the information and tools you’ll need to become not just a better pilot, but a truly exceptional aviator.
The Finer Points: Evolving to Perfection
Key Takeaways:
- Commercial aviation has dramatically reduced fatal accidents (88% since 1987) by implementing a three-step standardization process: identifying flaws, developing redundant protective procedures, and forcing compliance.
- General aviation pilots can achieve similar safety improvements by emulating this "bracketing safety" approach, requiring them to proactively notice accident trends, create standard and redundant operating procedures, and rigorously enforce their own compliance.
- This method focuses on improving decision-making and learning from the cumulative experience of past accidents to collectively evolve towards aviation safety perfection, rather than solely relying on stick-and-rudder skills.
