Ed Wischmeyer has been flying 50 years with time logged in 200 makes and models of aircraft. His current airplane is an RV-9A, flown all over the US. Professional research at SRI International, Boeing, and Gulfstream included low level windshear, unstable approaches, runway incursions, and hybrid GPS/ILS approaches. Recent research indicated broad scope pilot training and psychology as more effective for overall GA accident reduction than AOA devices. He has an MIT Ph.D. and ATP/CFII, but sometimes reminisces about X-C with just a compass and a sectional chart. He received the Wright Brothers Master Pilot award in 2024.
