CDM - Spokane, WA

The CDM program has been a big part of COPA for a long time. It has evolved over the years. Historically we have tried to present these events all over the country in small groups of not more than 25 attendees. Events have a social aspect with a light breakfast before we begin and lunch toward the end. Wings credit is available for these 3-4 hour discussions.

 At CDM events we look at ourselves. We discuss with each other how we think and what drives us to make the decisions that we make. We take an honest look at ourselves and explore our health, our proficiency, our attitudes toward safety, and our current skill set. We look at scenarios that other pilots have faced and ask ourselves questions like “What would I do?” “Would that have been a good decision for me?” “What might I have I done differently”. We explore external pressures and how they affect our decision-making process.
