FLIGHTFAX: Army Aviation Risk-Management Information. Volume 28, Number 1, January 2000. Misdiagnosis can be Fatal

Abstract

Many aviators have their own ideas about how to mitigate the risks associated with blowing snow. As part of the winter academic program, it may be useful to survey aircrews to determine which hazards they consider the most severe, and evaluate the effectiveness of the controls that are in place. From such a survey, necessary upgrades to winter training plans and development of new controls can be put in place. Winter has been a regular on the calendar for a long, long time. There's nothing we can do about that, even if we wanted to. In fact, the very predictability of changing seasons gives us time to plan our training for the different kinds of flying problems each season brings. If you haven't already done it, get your refresher training, review FM 1-202, and be alert to the hazards associated with winter flying.
