FAA ACCIDENT
PREVENTION
PROGRAM
The FAA assigns accident prevention
specialists to
each Flight Standards and General Aviation District
Office
to organize
accident
prevention
program
activities. In addition,
there
are over 3,000 volunteer
airmen serving as accident
prevention
counselors,
sharing
their
technical
expertise
and
professional
knowledge
with
the
general
aviation
community. The
FAA
conducts
seminars
and
workshops,
and
distributes
invaluable
safety information
under
this
program.
Usually
the
airport manager, the FAA Flight Service
Stations (FSS), or Fixed Base
Operator (F.B.O.),
will
have a list of accident
prevention
counselors
and their
phone
numbers
available.
All Flight
Standards
and
General
Aviation
District
Offices
have a
list
of
the
counselors serving
the
district.
Before
flying
over
unfamiliar
territory,
such as
mountainous
terçain
or desert areas,
it
is advisable
for transient pilots to consult
with
local counselors.

familiar
with
the more
desirable
routes,
the
wind
and
weather
conditions,
and
the service
and
emergency landing areas that
