In too deep . . . . . (do this training!)

Postby John.com » Wed Jan 30, 2013 9:53 am

This 'VRF into IMC' training is really good as it is constructed from the actual ATC audio records.

At 8:30 a.m. on the morning of November 26, 2011, a pilot, his two college-aged daughters, and the younger daughter's boyfriend climbed into a Cirrus SR-20 and took off from Marion, Indiana. The mission: return the older daughter to her college near Chicago. Two hours and 200 miles later, the aircraft emerged from the bottom of a low overcast in a near-vertical dive and disintegrated on impact with the ground.

What went wrong? Using real audio of the pilot's discussions with air traffic control and factual information from the NTSB report, we piece together the story of the flight and look at some of the factors that may have motivated the pilot to keep going past the point of no return.


It makes the hair on your neck stand up!! :shock: :shock:

You would need to register with AOPA in order to do the training.

At the end you can receive an AOPA certificate for having attended the training! :wink:
