    The story of experienced pilot, Russ Jeter, who nonetheless, made a critical mistake, provides a unique opportunity for all of us to learn.

    Events in our daily lives can lead to a relatively small error with grave consequences. In this special video presentation, we take a sobering look at one pilot’s personal tragedy, the devastation it wrought, and the lessons all of us can take from it.

    Much research has been done on the negative effects of stress on our physical and psychological well-being. The more stress we experience, whether we know it or not, the more inclined we are to lose concentration, forget things, and perform poorly on tasks that should be familiar and easy for us. More often than not, those effects have little impact upon our day-to-day life.

    Such effects while flying, however, could lead to a disastrous outcome.

    We’ve included an assessment tool below to help identify stressors in your life, and how much of a factor they may play in how well you are performing.

    As safety educators, we try to focus on the positive—on steps we can take to fly safely, rather than what might happen if we don’t. Yes, there are risks in flying; but as they say, few things worth doing are totally risk-free.

    Sometimes, though, it’s good to step back and remember what the point of all this “safety stuff” really is.

    That’s what this special ASI video, No Greater Burden: Surviving an Aircraft Accident, is about. It’s the personal story of Russ Jeter, an experienced and careful pilot who made a critical error, and paid a very high price for it. Russ hopes that, by sharing his story, he might help others avoid the pain and loss he and his family have suffered.

    As you watch, I hope you’ll think not about the reasons it wouldn’t have happened to you, but rather about the reasons something similar could. And I hope you’ll come away not with a dampened enthusiasm for flying, but with a strengthened resolve to do it safely—for yourself, your family, and your community.
