The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) Working Group recently met for the last time at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Working Group finished drafting safety recommendations targeted at reducing the number of CFIT general aviation accidents. The GAJSC analyzes general aviation (GA) safety data to develop intervention strategies to prevent or mitigate problems associated with accident causes, called Safety Enhancements that may include procedures, training, and equipment installations that, when implemented, may reduce the likelihood of accidents in the future.
