AIRMANSHIP
CASA Definition
The consistent use of sound judgement and well-*‐developed flight skills to
achieve flight objectives.
History
No longer merely “common sense” nor an undefined skill that is passively infused through exposure leading to a “mystical state of heightened knowledge/awareness”.
Airmanship is now trained (and assessed)! It is an active pursuit through training and study (professionalism and accountability) in which we constantly develop our knowledge base, seek out information before/during/after flight and process that information in order to make sound decisions.
A Modern Day Definition
Therefore, modern day AIRMANSHIP is about professionalism (pursuit of knowledge/information) and flight discipline (application of Rules/Maintenance of Standards) and accountability (play your role in safety).
