TOM ROGERS' FAA PRESENTATIONS
Safer Skies Through Education

FAASTeam Presentations
LOC is the leading cause of accidents in the US. In fact on average over the past 20 years there is 1 LOC accident each week.
There are five main causal areas for these accidents. Unintended flight into IMC Inadvertent stall/spin in traffic pattern Low altitude maneuvering Wake Turbulence Distraction and loss of SA primarily caused by two additional factors. System malfunction Automation confusion This presentation gives you some tools to Avoid, Recognize, and Recover from LOC. |
Similar to the LOC presentation, this one dives into spins and stalls. The CFI candidate must show the knowledge and capability to not only get themselves into and out of a spin but to teach the principle of stall, deep stalls, spin prevention, and spins.
This presentation gives the CFI Candidate the background of information for the aerodynamics and principles of avoiding, recognizing and recovering from stalls and spins. |
NOTE: There is an Imbedded Video in both of these presentations. I am unable to provide a link on the PDF slide in the presentations. You can find the video HERE
Non-Towered Airport Operations
Are you aware that the standard guidance issued by the FAA changed in 2017?
Tom has given this presentation in the Pacific NW at Bremerton Airport, Arlington Airport, and nationally online supported by the FAA Safety Team. This version is the more general version which applies to all non-towered airports. Safety at non-towered airports is dismal. We have one mid-air collision a month in the US. Pilots bringing towered airport norms to the non-towered airport cause confusion and conflict. Standard and predictable operations is the key to improving safety. |
This is a short presentation created for the IMC club of Bremerton, WA. It presents issues related to traffic pattern versus practice instrument approach conflicts. The activities in the non-towered airport traffic pattern that have the highest potential for a mid-air collision are long finals either from wide long patterns or straight-in traffic merging with traffic pattern aircraft. |
Airspace
A very basic review of airspace in the national airspace system. Tom was a airspace officer in the USAF. Responsible for working with the FAA air traffic system to provide services for the 1TFW at Langley AFB, VA. He also attend the TERPS school in Oklahoma City and was qualified to design and publish instrument approaches for the USAF and FAA. |
