Air Force hosts several Mid-Air Collision Avoidance (MACA) events to educate the flying public on how to conduct operations in and around their SUAs as well as provide a forum for the free flow of information between the military and the general aviation community. Each ATC sector has a specific wing that hosts the event.

Among General Aviation pilots, there was great fear that private aircraft would be permanently barred from controlled airspace, particularly around the epicenters of those attacks in New York City and Washington DC. Although 9/11 marked the weaponization of commercial aircraft, the aftereffects are felt most keenly by General Aviation.

There are pictures of me in the back cockpit of my dad’s war surplus PT-19 and the rear seat of a rented PA-12. Other logbook entries weave a story of the experiences only general aviation can bring. I have always loved everything aviation down to the smallest representation of a flying machine. I was no longer sure.

In reality, FAA has broken its own “sterile cockpit” rule, and unless the mature and experienced voices in the room stand up for reason and the cold, hard rules of aviating, navigating, and communicating, the system will continue its “graveyard spiral” to the inevitable consequences. It’s not a social science laboratory.

According to FAA data, general aviation (GA) pilots are responsible for almost half of these events. Two examples of an operational incident are clearing an aircraft onto a runway when another aircraft is landing or taking off or issuing a take-off clearance while another aircraft or vehicle is occupying the runway.

While the whole thing did not quite go as planned because long general aviation cross country flights rarely do, it was a wonderful trip and a great opportunity to share some of the beauty of my home state with friends from the East who really had no idea what to expect. This lesson was rapidly approaching for Alyssa.

If the co-pilot was lucky, the captain might let them work the radios and help with a few navigational duties, but the phrase “Gear up and Shut up” was considered a normal cockpit environment. This finding highlighted the role of communication, decision-making, and leadership in cockpit behavior and the resulting accidents.

After squeezing through the landing gear houses I settled into the right seat for our evaluation flights because frankly, this is a complex airplane with a complex cockpit. I’d like the cockpit modernized to make the systems a bit simpler and to group the controls a bit better. So what would I fix?

General aviation is driven by myriad forces. Given the need to preserve noggin-to-wing-spar clearance, its a smart but necessary solution. In most ways, the cockpit is conventional, with twin center sticks and a prominent throttle lever on the center console. Then theres the sales and marketing footprint.
