The newsletter is a forum for CFIs to

safety education programs. CFI to CFI embeds safety videos for seamless viewing on a
tablet or PC, while providing thought-provoking flight-instruction-related articles and
videos, flight instruction and aviation education tips from flight instructors, and ASI's
well-known safety quizzes and courses to share with student pilots and others.

a CFI's "Real Pilot Story: Fire in the Cockpit," explore ways to improve your radio communication with ATC, and come along with Rod Machado on an experiment of flying

DO YOU LIKE
TO LIVE ON THE
EDGE?
LIVING ON THE EDGE is not
without its perils. Some
are minor, but some can
be downright dangerous. Take thunderstorms,
for instance. Venturing
too close to the turbulence associated with these
weather hazards can ruin
your day pretty quickly.
I n t h e A i r Sa f e t y
I n st i t u t e 's L i v i n g o n
the Edge Pilot Safety
Announcement video
(www.airsafetyinstitute.
org/PSAturbulence), ASI
reminds pilots of the discomfort (at best) and
disaster (at worst) these
storms can bring. Living on
the edge might be exciting,
but don't get too close to the
edge lest convective turbulence brings you down.
