In March 2001, Flying magazine published an interview with John King titled "John King's Crusade to Change Aviation's Culture." In the article, John openly charged the general-aviation industry with mischaracterizing that light aircraft could be considered safe. He argued that general aviation pilots were insufficiently trained to recognize and address flight hazards. King Schools later joined efforts with Avemco Insurance to produce a training video to do this. In 2003, this led to the first in a series of training videos marketed by King Schools as a "Practical Risk Management" course. == References ==
