Flight Training - May 2023 - 47

FAA involvement with general aviation
grew noticeably following the appointment
of J. Lynn Helms, formerly CEO of
Piper Aircraft Corp., as FAA administrator.
During his FAA tenure, which began in
the spring of 1981 and concluded January
31, 1984, Helms interacted actively with
the GA community by forming small
working groups to address specific issues,
often saying that if given 90 days and a
specific problem, a committee of a dozen
experts could propose a viable solution
that resolved 90 percent of the challenge.
Helms argued that the remaining 10
percent would take considerably more
time and effort, resulting in high cost and
marginal value added.
Don Engen (retired U.S. Navy vice
admiral and member of the NTSB)
succeeded Helms as FAA administrator
in 1984 and continued involving the GA
community in addressing specific safety
challenges, building upon the concept that
government works best when users of
government services are involved in
devising solutions.
Significant improvements in flight
training have been made by FAA committees
and working groups coordinating
closely with the user community. One is
the development of airman certification
standards (ACS) to enhance and supersede
the FAA's practical test standards.
The ACS emphasizes risk management
in addition to the traditional elements of
knowledge and skill as essential aspects
of learning to fly, thanks in part to input
from GA users (see " Making Training
Better " next page).
Prior to issuance of airman certification
standards, FAA training documents
referenced knowledge and skill. When the
ACS was introduced, risk management
was given equal emphasis as a fundamental
requirement for airman certification.
Specifics for the private pilots ACS were
published in 2016, for commercial pilots
and instrument ratings in 2018, and for
airline transport pilots in 2019. The ACS
for flight instructors is in draft form.
NAVIGATING THE MAZE
A roadmap is needed whenever a journey
is long and spans unfamiliar territory, and
for many an aspiring aviator the journey to
becoming a pilot appears long, unfamiliar,
and imposing. The ACS is the roadmap
that puts the journey into perspective,
providing the student with confidence that
success is on the horizon.
