SAFETY

Develop a culture of safety

People will sometimes ask if flying an airplane is safe. The answer is yes. Is there risk? Yes, there is risk in everything that we do. Safety is the number one priority when we operate an aircraft. Developing a culture of safety at the start of your flight training will serve as a strong foundation for the balance of your pilot life cycle.

FIA recommends that all pilots continue their flight education after they attain their Private Pilot Certificate by earning their instrument rating. This rating trains pilots how to fly safely in the clouds.

Zero accidents worldwide

Together, we can build a Flight Instructor community where every instructor is heard, respected, and empowered to grow

NO QUESTION IS TOO SMALL.

Safety has always been a focus of FIA and we believe that everyone who operates an aircraft will appreciate our goal of zero accidents. We encourage all airman to Think Before You Fly since a majority of aircraft accidents originate BEFORE the airman ever steps foot in the aircraft.

We learn from incidents and accidents, and we modify our culture. That’s what the Zero Accident goal is all about — changing the culture of acceptance of some incidents, accidents, and fatalities. FIA’s goal is focused on eradicating as many potential causal factors as possible in the flight training community
