CFIT
CFIT majorly refers to incidences whereby an accident occurs in situations involving a collision with an obstacle such as water, terrain or with the absence of an indication of loss of control (Flight Safety Foundation 2018). Essentially, this type of catastrophes is identified in the cases where the flight crew are in control of the aircraft. With this, it has led to the introduction of mitigating approaches to help reduce the incidence rate of accidents as a result of CFIT. The organization focused on are FSF, FAA, and AOPA. This paper will discuss how pilot training will help to reduce the risks associated with CFIT.
Firstly, pilot training entails using the CFIT checklist worksheet. Majorly, it enables the pilot to make use of the available selections provided by the computer instead of using manual calculations. Fundamentally, the software avails essential information on the risks related to CFIT of a specific flight to the flight crews (Flight Safety Foundation 2018). It helps in the identification of factors which minimizes the risks and improves the pilot awareness of CFIT risk. With the use of this software, the risk of CFIT is reduced.
Secondly, training pilots on the use of an instrument rating can significantly help reduce the risks of CFIT. Indeed, this is because some of the CFIT accidents do oc…
