I have been using the FAA's PAVE personal checklist with my students. It is a way for a pilot to analyze four factors that lead to aviation accidents. It stands for:
P - Pilot
A - Aircraft
V - enVironment
E - External Pressures
The students have had to look up accidents from www.NTSB.gov and then talk about which of the four factors lead to the accident. The students have found that in a lot of cases it is more than one that was a factor and they have been able to see the chain of events that lead to the accident.
I will be posting some of the accidents that they use and discuss the factors. It has been a great way for them to learn from others mistakes.
