Title:
Performance, Planning, Emergency Procedures, Risk Management, and Mitigations
Topic:
Emergencies happen. Timing is never convenient. What are the odds and how do you prepare?
Speaker(s):
John Townsley
Brief Description:
It's night, it's dark, and you are flying along contentedly when all of a sudden you hear roughness...then nothing. The engine stops. There is nothing but silence. Now all of your skill sets come into action at one time--aircraft control, where to land, reading the winds from the surface conditions, panic control and survival. Remember when you used to look at your flight instructor for the answer to saving the day? Now it's up to you.
