Automation Airmanship:
The cockpit of today’s modern aircraft are more complicated and
demanding of our attention than ever before. Technology designed to
reduce the pilot workload has been proven to multiple the complexity
of the job if not used properly. Chris explains the difference between
using the technology professionally and being overwhelmed by the
systems.

Erik Eliel, Radar Training International
Radar Refresher Course
This course is a review of the major topics taught in the full day initial
radar course. Pilots who take Erik’s course are usually amazed at how
much they learn about a piece of equipment which has been in their
aircraft for their whole career.
Lunch
1200-1300
at Syberg’s (provided) GSLBAA luncheon
Afternoon Session
1300-1500
Erik Eliel, Radar Training International
Arrival threats, approach lighting systems and a look at specific
aircraft accidents to learn what can be avoided and how to better
prepare ourselves for safe flights.


Dann is the Manager of OEM & Customer Relations for
Flight Safety International. He works out of the Savannah
center and teaches a number of courses there and on
location. Dann is also a 747 captain for a major U.S. airline.
Dann was approached by Gulfstream to put together a
course featuring Gulfstream’s latest philosophy on the
rejected takeoff. It is different from what has become the
norm. We have been taught to stop the takeoff if the
anomaly happens at low speed and continue up to decision
speed unless one of a few named anomalies happens.
Many flight crews have decided to reject takeoffs in perfectly
flyable aircraft with very poor, sometimes tragic results.
Dann will explain why it is best to plan go instead of not go.
Many of today’s accidents are happening during the landing
phase of flight with a runway overrun resulting from an
unstable approach. The stable approach happens when the
flight crew plans to have the aircraft set up properly before
the approach begins. Dann’s program “Energy
Management” takes a look at setting up for a good landing
early in the arrival phase of flight. It also looks at what the
flight crew can do to avoid pitfalls which can cause the
unstable approach.

John Salamankas is the Flight Operations Safety
Manager of Gulfstream Aircraft company. John has
been a long time demo and test pilot with Gulfstream
and now also speaks to groups about safety in flight.
John is based at the Gulfstream factory in Savannah
Georgia.

John will speak to safety in flight as it relates to
proper approach and landing technique, flying
stabilized approaches and believing that making the
decision to go around is much better than forcing a
poor approach in to a disastrous landing. John also
speaks to his years of experience in aircraft testing,
predelivery test flights and aircraft development.


Resource Management to Coast Guard Aviation.

Captain Lutat has been a commercial pilot and Captain for a
large global airline since 1995, where he serves as a Captain,

Automation Airmanship for Business Aviation will
present the 9 Principles of Automation Airmanship
developed by the author over the past decade of
work in the industry with organizations operating or
transitioning to advanced aircraft. The course is an
update over previous years’ seminars, with specific
emphasis on the skills and habits of expert
performers in glass cockpit aircraft. Participants
regardless of the aircraft they fly, will learn the
fundamentals of glass cockpit organization in a way
that will permanently change their view of flight deck
automation, simplifying the complexity and
demystifying the “differences” between manufacturer
designs.

The 4-hour course takes participants through each
principle, providing examples of skills and techniques
which can be applied immediately upon course
completion, on the individual pilot's very next flight.
The seminar is an unconventional approach to
dealing with conventional challenges on the
automated flight deck, putting into practice skills
related to recent findings from the research
community in the field of human performance.

Rather than focusing on failures and accidents, the
course emphasizes expert performance, discussing
examples from industry of crews demonstrating
expert “Automation Airmanship”.

Event Speaker
Erik Eliel, Radar Training International
Erik is a former U2 pilot, currently a pilot with a
major U.S. airline. His interest with radar began in
1991 while flying airlift and transport missions to
Europe, Africa, South America, and the Middle East.
In 1997, Erik was selected to join the cadre of
instructors at the Air Force Advanced Instrument
School in San Antonio, Texas, teaching advanced
instrument concepts to pilots representing all
branches of the DOD, NASA, and Federal Law
Enforcement agencies. It was here that Erik
developed and taught the first-ever formal weather
radar course for Air Force pilots.

Radar Training International Inc. (RTI) was founded in 2004, and specializes in
customized airborne weather radar seminars for Fortune 500 companies and the
manufacturers of aircraft weather radar. Although the foundation of the seminar
is anchored in the tactics, techniques and limitations of airborne weather radar,
this program has evolved into a comprehensive convective weather program for
pilots and now includes other critical topics such as human factors, risk
management and properly integrating NEXRAD technology into the overall
weather strategy.
RTI’s program has been presented to pilots representing corporate flight
departments, the Department of Defense, and aviation / owner-operator
associations, as well as the dispatchers and meteorologists of aviation-related
companies; industry safety seminars; and the pilots, engineers and marketing
representatives of a major manufacturer of airborne weather radar. This
increasingly popular program is commonly booked more than a year in advance
for large venues, and the critiques consistently rank it as one of the most
popular.
RTI founder and president, Erik Eliel, is currently flying the Boeing 737 for a
major airline, maintains his CFII and MEI ratings and has logged over 12,000
totally flying hours. From 1987 until 2001, Erik was an active duty Air Force pilot
with assignments to the T-38, C-141 and U-2. His radar and weather-related
articles have been published in the NBAA Journal of Business Aviation and in
Business & Commercial Aviation. His input has also been solicited for safetyorientated publications such as the Flight Safety Foundation’s magazine
AeroSafety World. His company maintains active memberships in multiple
professional flying organizations including National Business Aviation Association
(NBAA), American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).
