In this episode we discuss techniques to help when it comes to those 2D single engine approaches and landings we practise in the simulator. These give a good grounding if ever a real life event were to occur but as we have seen from real world events there will always be other factors to consider too!
Here we look at the techniques we use to fly a standard single engine approach and GA to hopefully assist you when it comes to check time and beyond.
We're 50! On this special episode we bring you a great interview with the Captain of flight 1380 Tammie Jo Shults. We discuss a very interesting career as well as the accident flight itself. Tammie Jo has also very kindly offered a signed copy of her book "Nerves of Steel" for us to give away, a great read well worth getting hold of even if you don't win.
In this accident episode we look at a severe engine damage occurrence which led to a depressurisation. We look at the NTSB report into how it happened and how it was handled.
This episode sees us explore the windshear systems and how we interact with them as well as the all important escape manoeuvre.
