CFI-to-CFI Newsletter - Volume 3, Issue 1 - 8

It's a drag!
TAKING A CUE from televised public service announcements, this short video is meant to raise awareness of the dangers presented by airframe icing. Too many pilots underestimate the danger of precipitation and icing, and an alarming number add to the accident statistics as a result. Spread the word and help prevent a bad ﬂight outcome. Also, share ASI’s Weather Wise: Precipitation and Icing online course to develop a strategy for avoiding a potential deadly icing encounter (www.airsafetyinstitute.org/ wwicing).

CFI to CFI

ASI's newsletter for the serious ﬂight instructor
I always ask my CFI candidates what they would do if a student froze at the controls at the worst possible moment (“I Told You So,” CFI to CFI, Volume 2, Issue 4). They all state they would punch, hit, slap, jab/stab the student with a pen/pencil, etc. But, what would happen if the student retaliated? A simple, yet very effective method: Take a free hand and attempt to cover the student’s eyes (cover, not poke). Even wearing glasses, the student sees a hand coming toward their eyes and the reﬂex is to take their hands off the yoke and try to prevent or remove the covering of their eyes. Try it, it works! —Mike Berlin (Gold Seal Master CFI, IA, MEI, AIGI) I just received Vol. 2 Issue 4 of CFI to CFI and read it from front to back without stopping. I normally put new magazines or publications on the shelf ﬁrst, but this one is great. Thanks for tailoring to the ﬂight instructors of the world who look for this type of material to continually educate ourselves and provide better service to our students. —Jason Herman, CFI, CFII (Purdue University) Thanks for your feedback! And, CFIs, we welcome your story ideas, safety tips, and submissions to share with the ﬂight instructor community. —The Newsletter Production Team
