Max flew a Cirrus SR22 from San Jose, CA to Miami. He describes the flight and a close up view of the NASA SuperGuppy. An eyewitness to the Roy Holladay accident describes the crash. A listener asks about when to fly a procedure turn at a hold depicted at the IF or intermediate fix.
According to the NTSB, Loss of Control Accidents are the most common accident type, and distractions are a major cause. In this episode, Max talks about how to deal with distractions in the cockpit. A listener ask how to configure ADS-B Out so relevant traffic is broadcast back to a portable ADS-B receiver.
Max reviews results of the latest listener survey on portable ADS-B receivers and revisits their limitations, namely that while they appear to show all traffic, they do not! Listeners share what they like best and least about these receivers. And Max shares the preliminary NTSB report on the Icon A5 crash that killed MLB pitcher Roy Halladay.
Max reviews articles and eyewitness accounts of Icon A5 crash that killed Roy Halladay. He goes through Icon A5 POH, listing features and limitations and explains what instrument he would have included in the cockpit design. He discusses Icon’s Low Altitude Flying Guidelines, and Icon’s marketing and training to see if there are any possible improvements that can be made.
We talk about recent accidents where aircraft got in trouble flying too close to the ground. A Cessna 172 flying low over the Mississippi river, and a Cirrus SR22 hit power lines while flying an approach at night to the Lancaster, TX airport. We also discuss Night Flying Safety and black hole approaches, and how they create an illusion which causes pilots to fly a curved path into the ground.
Jason Blair is a DPE, who gives checkrides. He explains that there is a shortage of DPEs to give checkrides and he talks about the important qualification process, which occurs at the beginning of a checkride. If a student doesn't have all the documents, correct endorsements, or hasn't met all of the experience requirements, he or she will be going home before the checkride even starts.
