Background
The FAA has been reviewing safety of flight data in the general
aviation (GA) community over the last ten years. Even with the advent
of new technologies to assist the GA pilot, there has been little
improvement in the accident/incident rate among that community of
aviators.
CFIs are responsible for ensuring that pilots are properly educated
to operate safely within the National Airspace System (NAS). For CFIs
to accomplish that mission effectively they must be provided the means
and knowledge to do so, and there must be some objective method of
measuring that information transfer and retention. The FAA has been
reviewing indicators that suggest that the processes currently in place
may lack sufficient effectiveness in ensuring that CFIs are being
provided the best information in the most useful manner. This meeting
will elicit input from the community of authorized flight instructor
renewal program operators so that the FAA can better analyze how to
improve the process.
