The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association\u2019s Air Safety Institute (ASI) has launched a new signature video series called Expert Insights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Insights features interviews with specialists in their fields, who give pilots information on a wide range of topics relevant to general aviation safety, and useful practical tips they can use right away. So far, ASI has released three sets of videos, with more to come later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have put a lot of thought into this series, and we hope it will be informative and instructional to aviators across general aviation,\u201d Mike Ginter, senior vice president of ASI, said. \u201cOur first release, Crash Considerations, launched in late January and features Melanie A. Folcik-Barillaro, an experienced flight instructor and accident investigator, who gives insights on how to best survive a crash landing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second series, Risk Management, US Coast Guard pilot Justin Moore explains how pilots can reframe the risk management equation by asking themselves four simple questions ahead of every flight. Our third series, Survival Equipment, features survival specialist Doug Ritter, who gives pilots tips on essential gear to have on board when flying over sparsely populated areas, and how to effectively use it in the case of an off-airport landing and while awaiting rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilots can also earn FAA WINGS credit after viewing each set of videos by completing a 15-question multiple-choice quiz for each course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming months, ASI plans to tackle other relevant themes like pilot mental performance, mental health, NTSB investigations, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Insights joins ASI\u2019s other engaging and insightful educational materials which include the signature video series, \u201cEarly Analysis,\u201d \u201cReal Pilot Stories,\u201d and \u201cAccident Case Studies.\u201d These videos, along with ASI\u2019s other safety content, are viewed about 10 million times every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Expert Insights, we hope that aviators will learn new tips and tricks to make their flying safer, and also that they will share these with their peers,\u201d Ginter said. \u201cAt ASI, our mission remains to help all pilots make better decisions. Our featured speakers\u2019 real-world expertise in this new video series builds upon ASI\u2019s long tradition of pragmatic and effective pilot education.\u201d ASI\u2019s videos are available on YouTube here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
