Video – Le train d’Atterrissage – Sujet Facteurs Humains
L’ Institut Francais pour l’amélioration de la Sécurité Aérienne (IASA) présente une nouvelle vidéo qui traite des aspects facteurs humains ayant conduit un pilote a oublier de sortir le train d’Atterrissage. Une version en Agnlais est en cours de production.
“Dès que l’on peut rentrer le train d’atterrissage, on risque d’oublier soit de le rentrer soit de le sortir. Personne n’est à l’abri de ce type d’erreur. Penser que cela ne nous arrivera pas nous rend plus vulnérable. Il est important de comprendre ce que nous devons faire pour que cela n’arrive pas ! Et comment une combinaison de facteurs défavorables peut nous mener à l’accident. Il ne s’agit pas là que du train d’atterrissage, mais aussi par exemple, du pilote de deltaplane qui s’élance sans s’être accroché à son aile … Du pilote de montagne qui oublie de rétracter les skis avant de se reposer sur du “dur” … De l’oubli de mettre le réchauffage du carburateur … etc …”

SPORTOVNÍ LÉTÁNÍ … BEZPEČNĚ! (LAA ČR)
je sada čtyř instruktážních (metodických) filmů zpracovaných tak, aby přispěly k bezpečnosti sportovního letectví a taky jej popularizovaly.
“Sports Flying… Safely!” is a set of four instructional (methodological) films prepared by Light Aircraft Association of the Czech Republic in order to contribute to the safety of sport aviation and to the promotion of it. The film consist of four documents focused on flying with Ultra-light Aircraft, powered paragliding, paragliding and hang-gliding.

Video on the Loss of Control in Degraded Visual Environment
Experience demonstrate disorientation is the largest single cause of helicopter fatal or serious injury accident. There is a strong relationship between helicopter handling characteristics, visual cueing conditions and pilot capabilities which although allowed individually by the regulation, can be predicted to be unmanageable in combination.

Video on the Fuel Risk
If you didn’t know, fuel while very common, are dangerous goods. Be particularly aware of misfuelling risk due to aircraft retrofit with Diesel engines.

Video on the Loss of control in VMC
The loss of control in flight is statistically the major tpe of fatal accident in General Aviation in Europe. This video illustrates this an practical example a risky situation, leading to a loss of control.
This video is also available in French: ‘Perte de contrôle en vol à vue’.

Video on the loss of visual reference
Flight into adverse weather remains a leading cause of fatal accident in general aviation. This situation occurs when a pilot fails to accurately recognise the weather conditions present. This video has been compiled to assist pilots to retain control of their aircraft until they can regain visual references.

Video on the backside of the power curve
The knowledge of the flight characteristics on the back side of the power curve is essential to safe operations of an aircraft. The purpose of this sequence is to illustrate the behaviour of an aicraft in this part of the flight domain.
Why this subject? Because loss of control – inflight (LOC-I) is by far the prime cause of fatal accidents in general aviation, and because accidents more often occur during takeoff and approach, the phases in which manoeuvres are carried out at lower speeds.
