Topic: "Pilot Fatigue - The Deadly Hazard"
Speaker: Dr. Anthony Rizzo
Greetings VASI members,
We are kicking off the new year with one of our best speakers from two years ago. If you recall Dr. Rizzo spoke to us about the "Aging Pilot" which includes all of us!
This time he will be speaking about "Pilot Fatigue - Based on a USAF Class A accident investigation, this talk will cover both Fatigue and the Pilot as well as aspects of a military aircraft loss investigation."
If you are new to VASI or do not recall Dr. Rizzo from the last time here is his impressive bio:
Dr. Tony Rizzo is dual-trained as a General Surgeon and Aerospace Medicine Physician with thousands of peacetime and wartime surgeries. Presently, he is a Professor of Anatomy and Physiology at Polk State College. After only three years at the college, He earned Endowed Faculty Member status in 2017. Dr. Rizzo guest lectures in the Polk State College Aerospace Program, and is a member of Polk's Aerospace Safety Committee.
Coming to Winter Haven after retiring from the USAF, he has a total of 39 ½ years of Federal service.
Dr. Rizzo is also an Intelligence Officer, starting his career as a CIA Officer and ending his career as the Director of the National Center for Medical Intelligence, one of the five National Intelligence Centers under the Defense Intelligence Agency. He has either lived or worked in every country in Africa, as well as multiple countries in the Middle East and Europe.
Dr. Rizzo is an Air Force Senior Flight Surgeon who was the investigating Flight Surgeon on two F-16 class A losses, and has deployed to five armed conflicts. He has logged military flight time in the F-16B, B-1B, KC-135, various C- and KC-130 models, T-37, and the HH-60 helicopter. He served as a Space Shuttle Flight Surgeon for seven years. His civilian pilot-in-command time includes over 1,000 hours in Velocities, as well as extensive time in multiple Cessnas, Pipers, Beechcrafts, Mooneys, an SGS sailplane, and the Ryan PT-22.
