They’re just trying to save the planet. What’s your excuse?
“From An ACCidenT prevenTion
perspective, fuel mismanagement is one of the most frustrating problems. The accidents are easy to avoid. The hard part is reaching the pilots who are most at risk, because they’re not the ones attending safety seminars or taking online courses. A new approach is needed to get pilots to stop and think about the issue. Airing some ‘dirty laundry’? Perhaps, but we think it’s more than justified by the lives, aircraft, and dollars we lose to this problem every year. ACCIDENTS do far more damage to GA’s reputation than educational efforts like this. It shows that, as a community, we are making a good faith effort to address the problem.” —Bruce Landsberg, President, AOPA Foundation

ASI's newsletter for the serious flight instructor
I’m responding to “Checklist: Fuel— good to go?” (CFI to CFI, Volume 2, Issue 1). A newly minted Commercial pilot, I was insulted when a CFI came out to the plane we were about to fly, which I had preflighted, walked straight to the wings, checked the fuel, then opened the cowl and checked the oil. He explained “We're both in this plane together, and I don't want to die together.” It made sense! All my students now learn from lesson number one, we BOTH check oil and gas, regardless who checked it first. The instructor that said “Just stay on the right tank” taught a bad lesson to someone else's student. He should have asked, “Who is your instructor and what would be the safe thing to do?” Great magazine! —Roger Ameden, CFI Thanks! Please share ASI’s safety programs with pilot friends and your students. – The Newsletter Production Team
