Why Soaring's Safety Record Doesn't Improve

Miguel;

If you are in the US. look at the Soaring Safety Foundations Site survey
program (http://www.soaringsafety.org). This program is modeled after
the Swedish program. The major points a

*) It's confidential, nobody but your club/school gets a copy of the
final report, even the SSF destroy's it's copy

*) It's free. The SSF is trying to address all safety issues and this
is one aspect of the fight to improve safety awarness.

Robert,

I don't know if a program like this would be implemented
in the US, where I fly. But I would like to learn its
details hoping to learn something and apply it to my
own flying. This is the first time I read about hard
evidence of systematic safety improvement. Where can
I get more information?

Regards

Miguel

Not true!

The Swedish Soaring Federation has been delegated all
authority over
gliding by the Swedish CAA. Since 1993 we have reduced
our accident rate
by 50%.

You do not need a lot of rules, you need a few good
rules, and the power
to enforce them!
