Nick Mayhew - Steve Sparks - Mike Phillips -

TRAINING SAFETY - Steve Training Safety is using tools to develop a “safe attitude” in pilots, be they Student Pilots, Commercial Pilots or Flight Instructors. It is the responsibility of the Pilot-In-Command (PIC) to utilize all available tools to asses risk, execute the training mission and return everybody in a safe and relaxed manner.

TRAINING SAFELY – Mike Training Safely is the idea that Flight Instructors, Pilot Examiners and pilots have a stake in safely conducting the flight.
