The "Model" code is a flexible framework for aviators to achieve flying excellence and optimal safety, emphasizing a deep understanding of fundamentals and a personal commitment to continuous improvement.
It details key aviator responsibilities, including maintaining high standards of airmanship, exercising sound judgment, managing risk, ensuring situational awareness, and adhering to all laws and regulations.
The code stresses paramount responsibility for passenger and ground safety, advocating for thorough briefings, preventing unsafe conduct, and providing recurrent training and vigilant security practices.
Furthermore, it encourages environmental stewardship, proficient use of aviation technology, and active participation in advancing and promoting aviation through volunteering, mentorship, and ethical conduct.
The word “Model” is in the title because it articulates ways to achieve flying excellence without a canned set of rules. Tailor the code to help you become the best, safest aviator possible.
