a repeat in training, is a great indication
of strong safety culture.
PRS starts with between three to
seven hours of ground school, depending
on the class and class size, taught by
experienced racers/certificated flight
instructors and in some cases A&P
mechanics. The classwork covers myriad
topics. Race rules, which can be extensive,
are taught and emphasized with scenarios
in the course. There's a class on " racing
discipline, " with protocols on how to pass
someone on the course, how to respond if
being passed, and emergency procedures.
Instructors cover aircraft performance,
human factors such as fatigue and dehydration,
density altitude impact, and
much more. An impactful part of classroom
work is a review of many mishaps
experienced at Reno over the years and
the lessons learned that came out of them.
Students leave ground school with a collective
understanding of the disciplined
race environment.
Ground school is followed by actual
flying time on a race course. If airplanes
are equipped with two seats, the instructor
flies along. Otherwise, the instructor
flies chase in a like or similar aircraft.
Flight instruction and evaluation continues
until the student demonstrates a clear
understanding of the rules and shows
good judgment in handling different race
scenarios. Each flight is followed by an
extensive debrief to highlight strengths,
weaknesses, and potential conflict and
danger areas.
Advancing safety takes working all
five elements of the aviation safety model:
knowledge, training, proficiency, equipment,
and culture. PRS can't guarantee
there will not be mishaps. It's aviation;
there are no guarantees, but PRS is clearly
a strategic move that will have a positive
impact on racers, spectators, and organizers
for the safety of all. richard.
