Key Takeaways:

  • Pilots should regularly assess their personal proficiency and adjust their training programs as needed.
  • Integrate proficiency-building activities into all flights, not just dedicated events, even routine ones.
  • Apply comprehensive risk management procedures to every flight, including proficiency flights, as the pilot themselves is often the biggest risk factor to mitigate.

Should you modify your flying to include more proficiency events? You dont have to give up $100 hamburgers on sunny days, but you may want to grab your double-I to ride along. Even if youre not instrument-rated, use routine flights as part of a balanced events-based proficiency program.

Above all, apply risk-management procedures to all your flights, including those only for proficiency. All too often, the pilot is the biggest risk factor to mitigate.
