Title:
AOPA Air Safety Institute Safety Seminar at the Sun N Fun Aerospace Expo
Topic:
Accident Case Study: Trapped in the Hills
Speaker(s):
Mary Kuehn - Chief Flight Instructor and Program Manager - ASI
Brief Description:
In this harrowing real pilot story, a routine flight turns fatal as a father and son rely on their familiarity with the region’s terrain, despite the intense mountain turbulence and sinking ceiling on one chilly November day following a weekend adventure.
Join the AOPA Air Safety Institute as we explore how the allure of a familiar route can lead to a critical lapse in judgment and underscore the dangers of complacency in the cockpit.
ASI’s Real Pilot Stories allow pilots to share their encounters with dilemmas so others can benefit—while comfortable on the ground—from lessons learned the hard way in flight.
