Aviation.Org--the interactive website operated by Aviation Safety Connection, Inc.--addresses fundamental safety issues related to pilot performance. Central themes are embodied in the above-listed key words.

Perspective
The human element is a causal or contributing factor in the great majority of aircraft accidents. Interestingly, the ratio of human factors accidents is relatively constant across the entire aviation spectrum. This percentage--generally accepted at 70% to 80%--does not vary with pilot experience or types of aircraft flown.

Although the magnitude of the problem may be known, the solutions are less easily determined. Nevertheless, each of us can learn by realistically examining our own performances in the cockpit, by learning from our own misjudgments, and by learning from the mistakes of others.

Interactivity
Aviation.Org provides information related to cockpit performance issues and intends to be a catalyst for pilot-to-pilot examination and discussion of these issues. Through this interactive learning process, each of us can strive to attain the high personal and professional standards, the consistent behavior patterns and the positive attitudes that safe flying requires.
