We take safety very
seriously at Plus One Flyers and are proud of our excellent
safety record, which we attribute to the care and good
judgment of our member pilots and our Safety Program,
led by Safety Officer Bob Agresto.

paid by the club relative to 2006 rates highlights the success
of the club's Safety Program and the
collective excellent flying judgment, skills and habits of club
members, and helps offset rising fuel costs! Keep up the
great work and best flying practices, everyone!
THE PLUS ONE
FLYERS SAFETY PROGRAM -
Personal flight is a privilege and uniquely American legacy
we take seriously and endeavor to protect and promote.
The club's Safety Program was created to specifically and
proactively manage our club member pilot flying risks. While no
panacea, the program has produced undeniably tangible results
for many years, including year after year accident avoidance.
There are two cornerstones of
the Safety Program, the first of which is the club's member CFIs,
who through the club's semi-monthly CFI Safety Meetings,
conducted by the club's Safety Officer, are continually updated
and inculcated with safety-oriented decision-making training
techniques, post-incident or post-accident analyses, and open
and professional discussion and Q&A of new FAA requirements and
club policies. The meetings are mandatory at least once
every six months for a CFI to retain authorization to give
flight instruction in club airplanes.
The second cornerstone of the
Safety Program is the club-mandated ANNUAL flight review
for every member not already in an active training syllabus,
twice as often as the FAA requires. Not only does this
immediately encourage higher flight proficiency, it provides
twice the opportunity for our member CFIs to evaluate, train and
coach our club members to a higher standard of club pilot
expectations, and review and reinforce the club's
Bylaws, Operational Rules and
Code of Conduct, which are
reasonable, sensible and easy to follow.
