It Can Happen To You: Overcoming The Other Guy Syndrome in General Aviation
05/22/2025

Are you a general aviation pilot? Do you sometimes feel that serious accidents or mechanical issues only happen to "the other guy"? You might be experiencing The Other Guy Syndrome. This hazardous attitude, identified by the FAA as invulnerability, can quietly undermine even experienced pilots, leading them to believe they are immune to risks. This mindset can cause pilots to downplay risks, overestimate their skills or luck, and even skip critical safety steps like thorough pre-flight checks or weather briefings

Training Pilots for Resilience: Preparing for the Unexpected
04/02/2025

In aviation, resilience is not the same as being robust. Being robust refers to operating within a semi-normal state with typical, expected challenges. This is when crews are dealing with single failures, such as a single hydraulic system failure or an engine failure, which are things that pilots are trained for. These situations are considered "inbound" and exceptionally rare, and responding to them falls under the skills and tools that pilots have through their training.

On the other hand, being resilient is about adaptive capacity when operating out of bounds and...

Aviation Pilots Basic Med
03/19/2025

The FAA website outlines BasicMed, an alternative to a traditional medical certificate for certain pilots. To fly under BasicMed, pilots must meet specific criteria, including holding a valid U.S. driver's license and a prior medical certificate, completing a medical checklist with a state-licensed physician, and finishing an online medical education course. BasicMed allows pilots to operate smaller aircraft under specific limitations, such as passenger capacity, weight, and altitude.
