It seems you can hear transmissions, but you are unable to transmit. What can you do to alert ATC to your situation? Scenario ======== One little problem at an inopportune moment is all it takes to turn a feasible plan into a snowballing emergency. Now you must evaluate the options in the little time available and commit to one at the expense of all others. How far off the standard playbook will you go to reach safety? 5 November 2024 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CST From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Mon Nov 4 14:42:53 2024 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2024 08:42:53 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Members] [GL13132699] Scanning the Gauges When You Lost Your Horizon - FAASafety.gov (fwd) Message-ID: -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria.

In this edition of MentorLIVE, Captain Brian Schiff will present several scenarios inspired by NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) reports. We all love playing “Monday morning quarterback,” so Brian will present the first half of each scenario.  Then, he’ll encourage viewer participation to discover how those of us on the outside looking in think we’d have handled the situation.  Of course, each scenario will close with a discussion about the course of action taken by the actual pilot who submitted the report.  � Studying real-world scenarios is an excellent way to learn and practice Aeronautical Decision Making skills.  And, of course, no presentation by Captain Schiff is complete without some exercises and brain teasers. “So come on down” join us and play “What Would You Have Done?” To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here: http://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=133704 The sponsor for this seminar is: FAASTeam The following credit(s) are available for the WINGS/AMT Programs: Advanced Knowledge 2 - 1 Credit Click here to view the WINGS help page: https://www.FAASafety.gov/OnlineHelp/Default.aspx?page=/WINGS/pub/default.aspx From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Sat Nov 16 16:35:49 2024 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2024 10:35:49 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Members] [WP05133156] CFI Jason Miller Talks With Expedition Physician Howard Donner MD About Surviving Forced Landings - FAASafety.gov (fwd) Message-ID: -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria.
