Brief Description:
If you ever wondered how You would react to an Emergency then this webinar is for You!
Presenting a mobile application to assist the Pilot in determining the ability to SAFELY return to the airport after engine failure on take off.
Common practice during an engine failure right after takeoff with no remaining runway taught by our flight instructors is for the pilot to push the nose over and attain best glide airspeed and to land straight ahead while maintaining control of the aircraft.
In this webinar Professor George Bolon, will present you with a possible alternative that can be accomplished if all the pre-flight parameters have been met and the pilot is very proficient.The mobile application that Professor Bolon along with his team have developed might just be what you are looking for during your pre-flight planning. This mobile device will also enlighten every pilot on how difficult it is to execute a turn back to the airport with a complete engine failure.
