A united coalition of aviation organizations has come together to support the National Pause for General Aviation Safety.
Spearheaded by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and backed by the FAA Safety Team, this initiative encourages general aviation pilots to dedicate 15-60 minutes over the next six months to enhancing their safety practices. Pilots are urged to sharpen their skills and knowledge through a variety of carefully curated resources, including videos, articles and more.

Organizations such as the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), Vertical Aviation International (VAI), and National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) are asking their members to visit GAsafe.org, where they can access aviation safety content tailored to their specific flying interests, whether it be mountain flying, backcountry, seaplanes, instrument flight or handling emergencies.
“We envision a day with zero fatal general aviation accidents, and we have come a very long way already,” said AOPA president Darren Pleasance. “We are launching the National Pause for General Aviation Safety now so that we can draw attention to our successes and also refocus our efforts on making general aviation even safer.”
Pilots participating in the effort can earn FAA WINGS credit.
