It’s been a few weeks that our friend Shmulik Dimentstein died in a tragic crash of his HpH Shark just as he was about to land at his home airport Rifle in Garfield County, Colorado. As I’ve written before, soaring is objectively dangerous. Per activity hour, the risk of dying is about 40x greater than when driving a car. However, we also know that it does not have to be so dangerous.

Is Pilot Training Relaxing? When I first started professional flight training in an airline flight school environment there was a certain amount of discomfort involved. Being a new hire airline pilot was kind of like taking a drink out of a firehouse because everything was new. Simulator training was more difficult then because the FAA and individual airlines never thought about the human factors involved during flight training.
