Welcome to another episode of Flight Training the Way I See It.

🛩️ Light Sport Airplane Upgrade: Exciting news on the horizon! The FAA has proposed significant changes to Light Sport Airplanes (LSA) under the MOSAIC program. Discover how this rule change could lead to more robust LSAs, improved training, and enhanced opportunities for sport pilots. Check out the potential impact on sport pilot certificates and aviation training as we await the outcome.

✈️ Pilot Pass Rates and Challenges: We delve into the concerning drop in pass rates, particularly among Private Pilots. Uncover the contributing factors, including the experience of flight instructors and the ongoing DPE shortage. Explore solutions like the SAFE mentoring program and CFI-Pro, which aim to foster better training practices and boost pass rates..

And now, it's time for our Pro Tips segment, where we offer valuable advice for aviators:

🔹 Pro Tip 1: CO Sensor during Runup: Don't panic if the CO sensor goes off during runup. Try moving the airplane a bit and vent the cabin. Opt for a simple checklist to streamline your runup process and ensure safety.

🔹 Pro Tip 2: Inertia Reels for Seatbelts: Pilots using airplanes with inertia reels, pay attention! Learn how to correctly handle the seatbelt when using an inertia reel system to avoid unexpected stops.

🔹 Pro Tip 3: EFB Battery Backup: For EFB users, always carry a reliable battery pack with sufficient capacity to power your device during the entire flight and beyond. Don't rely solely on internal tablet batteries or in-plane electric plugs. Be prepared for any situation with your backup power source.
