Runway Safety Action Teams
Runway Safety Action Teams (RSAT) bring local airport stakeholders together at least once a year to identify risks to surface safety at that airport and develop plans to mitigate or eliminate those risks. RSATs provide the foundation of the Runway Safety Program at individual airports. The RSAT meetings are the primary forum for pinpointing and addressing airport-specific risk in the surface environment. The product of an RSAT meeting is a Runway Safety Action Plan in which the stakeholders document and agree to pursue specific actions intended to improve surface safety. This meeting is scheduled for 2 hours. - Webinar Information

We pilots tend to be self-reliant, take-charge individuals who willingly take responsibility - and credit - for our accomplishments. That's good - but many of us see flying as a solo act rather than a team endeavor and that's not so good. We may feel that any offer of help is intrusive; and requesting assistance is somehow an admission of inadequacy.
The truth is; there is a huge network of individuals and services available to every pilot and working with these assets as a team, we can fly to more places, more efficiently, and more safely than we can on our own. - This module will show us how best to work with and Captain our teams. - Webinar Information You are invited to the following ZoomGov Webinar provided by FAVES.

1 "Borescope Initiative"- How to access cylinder condition using a borescope. - On Wednesday, May 1, 2024 at 19:00 Central Daylight Time (17:00 PDT; 18:00 MDT; 20:00 EDT; 14:00 HST; 16:00 AKDT; 17:00 Arizona; Thursday, May 2, 2024 00:00 GMT) - The borescope is one of the most important and versatile tools for inspecting GA aircraft, and is the gold standard for assessing cylinder condition in reciprocating aircraft engines. However, aircraft and engine manufacturers have provided no guidance on how to perform a proper cylinder borescope inspection, and A&P training doesn't cover it. In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA discusses what his company (Savvy Aviation) has done recently to fill this vacuum. Savvy has developed a detailed inspection protocol, produced a 35-minute training video demonstrating its use, and published a companion checklist with detailed descriptions and examples of each image to be captured. In addition, it has created a sophisticated web-based borescope image repository available free to anyone wishing to use it. This repository allows borescope images to be uploaded, tagged descriptively, archived, annotated, and produces elegant PDF reports. - To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

Doesn’t that lead to the dreaded stall/spin accident?
