Most aircraft accidents are caused by a chain of events rather than just one error. Study how and why they happen and you'll be a safer pilot. Flight Chain App's convenient, easy access to accident reports helps you become a better pilot.
The vast majority of accidents are preventable. By reading accident reports, you'll learn what not to do. And you'll be a safer pilot because of it.
We were surprised by a flight instructor's observation who, after more than 40 years of flying, was amazed at how many pilots of various experience levels aren't aware of the value of NTSB reports.

Just as "currency" doesn't mean "proficiency", a similar thought could be said of the required ADS-B Out and optional ADS-B In. Meeting the FAA's legal requirement of ADS-B Out is just one-half of the solution in helping make general aviation safer. If you don't have ADS-B In, you're missing out.
Because a bird strike can happen suddenly and without warning, it must be impossible for pilots to plan for, and mitigate the risk of, bird strikes. Or is it? I recently came across an interesting website that uses data to help pilots mitigate the risk of experiencing a deadly bird strike.
