Abstract
The need to reduce aircraft accidents and incidents is paramount in general aviation, specifically, those attributed to aeronautical decision-making and poor judgment. Accident statistics confirms aeronautical decision-making and poor judgment as a significant contributor to general aviation accidents and incidents (Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association, 2010). The absence of a positive safety culture in general aviation to include training organizations affects pilot judgment and decision making. The learning process and education through actual and simulated flight training and the relationship of a positive safety culture during the learning process and training is of importance and currently under study using the Frasca mentor Advance Aviation Training Device.
