Transition Training Webinar - How to Mitigate Risk When Moving Up or Down in Aircraft The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) Loss of Control Work Group studied a group of General Aviation accidents that may have been caused by inadequate or no transition training received by the pilots involved. Teaching Points: The fatal accident rate for Experimental/Amateur-built aircraft is more than twice the rate for traditionally manufactured aircraft. Some GA accidents are associated with inadequate pilot performance do to inadequate or no transition training in the accident aircraft Transition training is essential to flight safety especially when transitioning into Experimental Amateur-built and Light Sport aircraft. Because amateur-built aircraft flight characteristics, aircraft controls and instrument placement can vary significantly from one builder to another, airframe-specific transition training is often recommended. Transition training instructors must be thoroughly familiar with each airframe in which they give instruction. Pilots holding Private Pilot or better certificates who learned to fly in traditional manufactured aircraft are twice as likely to experience accidents in Light Sport aircraft as are Light Sport pilots who trained only in Light Sport Aircraft.
