Title:
Fast Descent but No Airspeed Indicator!
Topic:
Loss of Airspeed Indicator and Loss of Control, Continue the Approach, Go Missed, or Divert?
Speaker(s):
Dan Wirt, CFI, CFII
Brief Description:
Loss of control on an approach is a terrifying thought—and you just recovered in a valley with limited visibility and no airport in sight. Is it better to climb to safety with a known issue or scud run a few hundred feet above the ground to find an airport and some terra firma? How is your partial panel proficiency?
What would you do?

CEPA promotes flying, proficiency, and safety; we work to create a community of pilots willing to share their perspectives, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. We ask experienced and student pilots to participate in this excellent forum where we think through the various options from the comfort of your chair, firmly on the ground... before it is you sitting in the cockpit.
We meet monthly when pilots (and would-be pilots) network and share knowledge and experiences to keep our heads in the game.
