Day 5
The final day included more classroom discussion on the loss of control (LOC) accidents related to training events, and an intense briefing on the fundamentals of the SFAR 73 regulation including its history, followed by more flight sessions. The final flights consisted of autorotation instruction using a standardized approach, including enhanced autorotation techniques and responses to power failures at altitudes from various airspeeds and configurations.
Wrapping up the final day once again brought everyone together for a candid discussion on the course curriculum and a sincere plea from RHC’s training staff for our feedback on the course: what to add, delete or modify. This is one of the many areas where this program really shined. In just one week, I noticed that the sincerity of the RHC staff was mirrored by those in attendance; in a short amount of time, I felt a level of
camaraderie with the other course participants as we all truly felt invested in how this program can improve safety. The RHC instructor pilots who flew with the course participants were also present and offered much insightful information. Simon Jones, a 21-year RHC Safety Course flight instructor said, “This program is only going to help flight schools of all sizes; it will reduce accidents.”
There was nothing superfluous about the program. The final product that will be crafted from a data-driven curriculum and feedback from participants of the first two iterations will yield a full five days of intense ground and flight instruction. As of this writing, three courses have been scheduled for the remainder of 2024, all of which are full. If you look at earning a flight instructor certificate as a “degree,” this program is undoubtedly at the “master’s” level you should set your sights on. For those wondering – I passed!
