CHIEF'S CORNER
alternative meaning for the letters CAP-but it is
also very rewarding, far greater than the money I
spent in CAP over the years I was a member.
And one with an indirect relation-the Boy Scouts
of America as an aviation merit badge counselor.
Being an aviation merit badge counselor is
generally a pretty easy way to interact with
the Scouts and doesn't require anything more
than filling out an application and merit badge
counselor form, taking an online youth protection
class, and submitting the paperwork to your
local BSA Council for approval. Details on how
to do that are available online (scouting.org/
programs/scouts-bsa/mb-counselor-guide).
And since most of us have interests outside of
aviation, you may find that there are other merit
badges that you may want to offer.
EAA's Young Eagles flights, Women in Aviation
International's Girls in Aviation events and
other local groups are a great way to introduce
youth to aviation. Find a local chapter of each
organization to find out how you can participate
with them in their programs.
We mentioned one other indirect way to give
back in this newsletter's article about the AOPA
Air Safety Institute's online flight instructor
refresher course (eFIRC). I'm very proud to
tell you that all the funds from the ASI FIRC
programs, online and in-person, go directly
back into creating aviation safety content.
You may not be aware that ASI is not funded
through AOPA member dues, but rather through
donations to the AOPA Foundation and through
our FIRC programs. In fact, the FIRCs provide
almost 50 percent of our operating budget.
Thank you to those of you who use our FIRCs.
One last thought to close out this year-you can
give back to aviation by being a safer pilot. Take
some time to get some proficiency training,
consider adding a rating, getting checked out in
a new aircraft, or taking an aviation adventure
trip. It's easy to get into a rut, but by challenging
ourselves we can improve the quality of our
instruction and continue to move the safety
needle closer to a zero fatal accident rate.
Thanks for reading and best wishes for a
fantastic flying year in 2020!
John Collins is the AOPA Air Safety Institute's
chief flight instructor and manager of aviation
safety programs. Before joining ASI, John was
AOPA's manager of airport policy. He earned his
flight instructor certificate in 1996 and enjoys
seeing students light up when they put it all
together and nail a maneuver.
EAA'S YOUNG EAGLES
FLIGHTS, WOMEN IN AVIATION
INTERNATIONAL'S GIRLS IN
AVIATION EVENTS AND OTHER
LOCAL GROUPS ARE A GREAT WAY
TO INTRODUCE YOUTH TO AVIATION.
