Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Nearly Failed Ferry Flight
Q: Was the airplane certified for night flying, and did you have to deal with limited visibility at night?
Yes, the airplane was believed to have night capability with lights, and in practice we faced a night landing in the later stages of the voyage after navigating through fog, which demonstrated the limits of instrumentation and reliance on visibility in challenging conditions.
A Nearly Failed Ferry Flight
Q: What did you learn from all of this, Bob?
The most important thing I learned from this is always bring a six sack, a reminder that preparation, humor, and keeping a clear head helped us manage a long, difficult ferry flight and stay safe despite multiple iced-over legs and ice-induced performance problems.
Saratoga Surprise
Q: How much altitude did you lose during the unusual attitude event?
About a thousand feet, before recovering and leveling off to manage the situation.
Saratoga Surprise
Q: What time of day did the flight occur?
It was around 10 or 11 in the morning.
Incorrect Instrument Indications
Q: Why did you not pull the alternate static source during the flight, and what changed your mind after the fact?
I didn't think about the alternate static source in the moment, largely due to cognitive bias and fatigue. After the flight, I recognized the value of alternate static, and I've since revisited that lesson and adjusted my checklists accordingly.
