Comment on Familiarization Flights by Tariq Rizvi

The objective of familiarization flights is to provide an opportunity for controllers, supervisors and ATS management personnel to observe, at first hand, the working environment of pilots of large commercial aircraft and the method and procedures used in the departure, enroute and arrival phase, including navigational techniques used. Familiarization flights also provide the opportunity to listen to air-ground communications and to assess how they affect a pilot’s workload as well as the opportunity to monitor how well ATS units are performing.

Where famiarization flights are considered an operational requirement, they should be carried out in duty hours as part of on-the-job training. Their frequency should be dictated by operational considerations.

Hi Beverley, Thanks for your comment. As a youngster in aviation in Guyana, I heard of all the pioneers including you. You have certainly led the way for many and for that I thank you. I do have some ambitious plans for aviation in Guyana and I believe that you can contribute in some way. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Wayne – Thanks for sharing the information. I am the first and only African American Female Aviation Accident Investigator/Analyst with the National Transportation Safety Board. I started my career as a military pilot for my home country Guyana, then flew for the Airline of my country Guyana Airways Corporation. I currently talk to kids especially minority kids to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Degrees as a career. We have to work with kids from elementary all the way through college. I enjoy volunteering and mentoring kids in pursuing aviation as a career.
