Title:
Flying at night - don't get caught in the dark!
Topic:
Preparing your airplane and YOU for night flight.
Speaker(s):
Professor Dale Wilson
Brief Description:
The old saw may be true, “flying at night is no different than flying in the day,” except you can't see anything! From illusions that lead to controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), to spatial disorientation resulting in loss of control (LOC), the risks go up when the sun goes down. Join Professor Dale Wilson as he illuminates the threats that lurk in the dark and outlines strategies that you can use to avoid or mitigate them.
