Aviation Safety Foundation of Australia. GA Pilot Proficiency Training
I offer this as a public service to all GA owners and pilots.
ASFA is a not for profit organisation seeded out of the CASA Safety Promotion budget.
It is not an industry advocacy group beyond the promotion of the safety agenda to industry and providing advice to the Government on it.
I commend your attention to the following;
If you have an interest in this area you may join the organisation for a nominal fee to support their efforts and recieve the reports and discussion papers they publish from time to time.
Or you may join one of the type specific Associations or Societies, apart from learning a lot about your aircraft it's a lot of fun.
Or you may simply attend one or more of their programmes that relates to your particular type of aircraft or license.
Despite what some aviations organisations would have you believe, I guess for their own reasons, GA is NOT dead or even dying, it may be a little flat, but there is a lot more going on than just a spark.

Aviation Safety Rating Pilot and Maintenance Proficiency Programs
Pilot and Maintenance Proficiency Programs
In accordance with ASFA’s Business Plan, and in particular Strategic Objectives 6 & 7, the over arching objectives of such proficiency programs are to assist individuals and organisations in all segments of the aviation industry to:
(a) Constantly improve their aviation safety behaviour;
(b) Measure the improvement in their aviation safety related behaviour;
(c) Have a transparent and accountable aviation safety culture; and
(d) Develop philosophies, policies, procedures and practices, which establishes zero accident, incidents and near-miss outcomes.
This MOU, between ASFA,
Australian Bonanza Society Ltd (ABS),
Cessna Pilots Association of Australia Ltd
(CPAA), International Comanche Society Inc (ICS– “Australian Tribe”),
Australian Mooney Pilots Association
Ltd (AMPA) and the
Australian Piper Society Ltd (APS), became effective on 1 January 2005.
It identifies the Type-Specific components and defines the arrangements to establish through collaboration and by mutual agreement, a
“National Aviation Safety Rating (Pilot and Maintenance Proficiency) Program 2005-2006”.
This program will feature details, e.g. location, dates and times of Aviation Safety Rating (ASR) proficiency programs (existing or under development) such as the following:
(a) Type-Specific Pilot Proficiency Programs currently conducted by the ABS, CPAA, ICS – “AustralianTribe”, AMPA and APS;
(b) ASFA “Generic” Pilot Proficiency Programs (when available from 3rd quarter of 2005); and
(c) ASFA Maintenance Proficiency Programs (when available, late in 2005 or early 2006).
Such proficiency programs are not intended to substitute or in any way interfere with the appropriate licensing requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority’s (CASA’s) regulatory framework. They are primarily intended to provide additional initial and recurrent training / education involving exposure to skills, knowledge and safety training, resources and/or education that goes beyond the regulatory standards established by CASA.
The Parties to this MOU will aim towards such programs satisfying, as far as practicable, the following general requirements and all associated legal liability, if any, for their conduct rests solely and exclusively with the individual Party or recognised training organisation accredited to conduct such training. The programs listed above, will, as appropriate:
(a) Be marketed and made available throughout Australia to as many aircraft owners and pilots or LAME’s or AME’s as possible;
(b) Be accredited by ASFA based on a peer review process for Type-Specific programs or, national competency standards for programs 1 (b) and (c) above; and provide benefits or content as negotiated by the Parties with insurers, suppliers etc
This project was established by ASFA in December 2004 to ensure that, by mid 2005:
(a) All necessary development work is conducted in association with ASFA’s “Safety Always Alliance” strategic partners and in accordance with appropriate regulatory and professional development guidelines;
(b) The priority tasks and associated deliverables include the development and implementation of “Train the-Trainer” activities for qualified Chief Flying Instructors / Aviation Safety Mentors; and
(c) Items (a) and (b) above are completed and are formally approved by the ASFA Board to facilitate a phased national implementation program commencing in 3rd quarter of 2005.
Mr Mark Riley, Managing Director of NBT Pty Ltd, Albury NSW, is managing this project under contract to ASFA.
It is envisaged that a similar development project for an ASR ~ Maintenance Proficiency program will be formally established by ASFA later this year. IN

Aviation Safety Rating
Aviation Safety Rating Pilot and Maintenance Proficiency Programs
Pilot and Maintenance Proficiency Programs This program when completed will comprise the following eight modules. Each module has a ground component and a flying component.
The ground component will be completed over a two-day workshop and the flying component will be generally one to three hours for each module:
• Module 1: Is your family safe to fly with you?
• Module 2: Flight discipline, learning the basics.
• Module 3: Flight skills and proficiency.
• Module 4: Learning about you.
• Module 5: PAVE – The Pilot, The Aircraft, The Environment, The Team and Controlling the risk, setting your own standards.
• Module 6: Situational awareness.
• Module 7: Judgement, how to learn it.
• Module 8: Airmanship, bringing it all together.
ASFA is developing these proficiency programs in response to stakeholder feedback and the safety issues Australian general aviation, recreational and sport aviation are facing.
ASFA like the US Federal Aviation Administration is acutely aware of the importance of scenario-based training.
In the ASFA program, the ScenarioPractice Reduces Accident Incident Numbers (SPRAIN) training methodology complements its courses, thus enhancing safety.
The ASFA SPRAIN training program, which is part of the PPP, attempts to link both Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) principles and Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) by introducing the key elements and characteristics of both decision making models in its training program. In doing this we provide the opportunity for participants to develop their ADM skills in a naturalistic or real world setting.
The ASFA SPRAIN training methodology was used with great success at a trial workshop in Albury, NSW, in November 2004.
This project is being supported and co-sponsored by the
Aerospace Maritime and Defence Foundation of Australia
Limited,
Airservices Australia,
Aviation Maintenance Repair & Overhaul Business Association (AMROBA),
CASA,
Directorate of Flying Safety – Australian Defence Force,
Flightsim,
Qantas Airways,

Fantastic stuff indeed. Lots of fine words, and best of luck to all these wonderful plans and achievements. But let's face it, the average GA instructor or charter pilot or night freight driver ain't gonna see no changes that directly improve his career. Sorry about the cynicism, which is meant in the nicest possible way, believe me.

A37575,
What the hell has a charter/night freight pilot's future career prospects got to do with ASFA? They are purely a safety organisation with excellent representation. They are NOT a union or representative body formed to take care of pilot careers.
ASFA is a not for profit organisation seeded out of the CASA Safety Promotion budget.

Thanks Jenna,
The above is for the benefit of owners and pilots who may fly the type.
As there is no longer any direct factory representation for most, it is useful to know where to go for the real goods.
Also charter operators and their pilots who have not been around since before say 1980 and/or have recently introduced the type to their fleet, will gain much benefit from the accumulated experience of the type organisations.
My experience is that there are very few pilots around now who would not benefit from the "real deal", instead of the accumulation of old wives tales and guru nonsense that is often served up as recieved wisdon.
