CHIRP General Aviation FEEDBACK Edition 104

This May 2025 edition of CHIRP General Aviation FEEDBACK focuses on managing attention under pressure, emphasising both the benefits and risks of task fixation and distraction. Reports include accounts of a flap oversight during touch-and-go, near runway incursion and parachute malfunction, showcasing human factors like distraction, communication and decision-making. We have a thought-provoking “I learned about …” tale of poltergeist instructors – do you know who’s actually flying your aircraft?! In order to bring you these key aviation safety insights we rely on your reports. Whatever the incident or experience, please share with CHIRP, in complete confidence, at Report to CHIRP.
