Our Chapter is fortunate to have a great working relationship with the Miami FAASTeam. The members of this team are available to discuss any safety or flying issues with you.
If you go to their great Website, http://FAASafety.Gov you'll find full information on the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program. This program helps pilots to design their own training to meet their own unique flight requirements. (Shameless plug.. our EAA Chapter FAA-approved Flight Simulator and our FAA Safety Meetings can be important parts of your personal WINGS program.)

Have A Current Airport Diagram AND Use IT!
Line Safety Audits completed by the airlines revealed 23% of errors and 38% of the threats occur before ever leaving the ground.
A crucial part of the flight process is pre-flight planning. Accident analysis reveals that preflight planning is often inadequate or entirely ignored. An important part of this flight process is the obtainment of information for your departure, arrival, AND alternate airports. This should include utilizing a current Airport Facility Directory, obtaining current NOTAMs, AND having a current Airport Diagram.
It is not only important to have a current airport diagram, but to also USE THEM. You should review the airport diagram before taxi while stationary; and then after receiving your taxi clearance, review the diagram again to ensure that you are familiar with the taxi route and any hold short instructions. If there ever is a question.STOP and ASK!
