Sentinel Newsletter
Graying Pilots
Good newsVery Experienced
Bad newsEntropy(everything
in our universe will
decay)

Our love of flying
makes us deny
any deficiency that
could threaten our
flight status
Discriminate against
Deficiencies, NOT Age
Observe



Is lack of hearing from old age or from a
temporary cold?
Can he read the charts during the day but not
at night?
Is poor performance from too many birthdays
or too little proficency
Make the tough call
Put restrictions on flight


Simple transport missions might be fine.
Mountain or night flying might not be Okay.
Command authority brings with it
command responsibility. Don't let an
accident occur that you could have
prevented -- it will haunt you forever.
The Glass Cockpit
Experience.
Technology is wonderful


Who would want to go back
Learning how to use the new technology is
as important as ever.
The Glass Cockpit Experience
Advantages


More mental
approach
Increased situation
awareness
Disadvantages



Loss of stick and
rudder skills
Requires consistent
recurrent training
Distraction to the
poorly trained
G1000 Training
Only practice and time will make you
effective
Continue training with an instructor
Use computer based continuation
training
Print medium not very effective, require
interactive training with equipment
