Did you know that we have entered a peculiar time in aviation where the aircraft flown are statistically safer than the pilots who fly them? The National Transportation Safety Board reports that 97% of general aviation accidents are caused by pilot error. Now you can complete a single-pilot resource management training program online. This training will allow you to learn advanced pilot safety skills, from whatever location and at whatever time is most convenient to you.
What have you done lately to reduce your risk of pilot error?
Developed by Professor Suzanne Kearns at the University of Western Ontario, OSRM™ online training offers general aviation pilots advanced, affordable and entertaining safety training.

Potential Applications
Currently, SRM training is only available through weekend seminars at a select number of centers across North America. Why travel to a destination and pay a tuition fee exceeding $1000 when you can complete the same training from your home computer for a fraction of the cost? Online SRM works!
Individual aviation enthusiasts can purchase accounts for the low introductory rate of only $49.99 by following the product link at the bottom of this page.
