FAA Safety Team Holds Annual Safety Standdown

The March/April 2012 issue of FAA Safety Briefing features an article on the FAA Safety Team’s (FAASTeam’s) 3^rd Annual Safety Standdown. FAASTeam members around the country will host nearly 90 local standdown events, with the main event held March 31 in Lakeland, FL. In 2010, the FAASTeam launched the safety standdown outreach effort to general aviation pilots and mechanics. A common practice in the military, a standdown focuses on education on a specific safety issue. The three central themes of the 2012 standdown are: loss of control, aeronautical decision making and advanced preflight.
