From the Flight Deck<\/a> runway safety video initiative. The FAA has produced a series of 4- to 5-minute videos of actual approach, landing and runway taxi scenarios at small and medium-size airports using Go-Pro cameras in a Cessna to create the GA pilot viewpoint. Graphics, animation and runway diagrams also have been added along with a voice-over to fully describe and educate about runway and intersection \u201chot spots\u201d at specific airports across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWith these videos, knowledge and training is designed from\nthe cockpit perspective, allowing pilots to visualize the approach and layout\nto an airport before they actually arrive, Martin adds. \u201cThis experience will\nimprove their decision-making and reduce errors and accidents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, more than three dozen videos have been developed and\nreleased free to the public, which highlight runways and intersections at 33\ndifferent U.S. airports. General videos also have been created for GA\noperations that focus on wrong airport landings, wrong surface landings, winter\nweather, wrong direction departures and hold short procedures. The video series\nhas garnered more than 170,000 views since its inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAA plans to create and release videos for 30 to 40 more\nairports during the next two years. Additional goals include linking every\nvideo to its corresponding airport web site and for general aviation trade\nassociations to help build awareness and distribution of these safety videos\nthrough their own social media sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese are invaluable safety tools for general aviation\npilots and for airports with general aviation operations,\u201d adds Martin.\n\u201cGetting the right information to the pilot will help make us safer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In an average year, more than 16 million aircraft fly in U.S. skies and roll safely on airport runways and taxiways. When a runway incursion stemming from a pilot error occurs, it is a rare event, but it draws scrutiny from the Federal Aviation Administration, no matter if it involves a commercial airline or a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18155,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18154\/revisions\/18155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
