Straight Talk About Aviation Safety

The Kings are known for their unique ability to blend humor with real-world experience, gleaned from years of traveling by light plane to weekly seminars, to vividly and memorably illustrate the principles of safe cross-country flying.

For those deeply involved in aviation, it is no secret that our accident rate in general aviation is unacceptable. It must be improved if we are to preserve the future of general aviation.

After having had an aircraft accident of their own, and discovering their own sense of vulnerability, John and Martha say they have become “born-again pilots”. Having had a hand in the aviation education of nearly half of the pilots in the United States in the last three decades, the Kings feel a deep responsibility towards their students and a strong sense of mission about passing on practical and insightful tools for risk management.  

When we say “safety is our highest priority” do we really mean what we say? Wouldn’t grounding the airplane be the safest thing? This startling presentation for all pilots will provide a provocative approach with new concepts, a new vocabulary and fresh insights on the subject of aviation risk management. 

We will never completely eliminate the risks of general aviation, but the Kings’ insightful talk will reveal the procedures and techniques that can help pilots manage aviation risks effectively. You’ll be better prepared to assess and manage risks confidently … leading to safer flying and more fun in the cockpit.
