26. Martha’s Vineyard Accident

You’re highly experienced, have made the trip to your vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard island dozens of times and fly a very capable, high-performance airplane. While these factors should work in your favor, they can also stack the deck against you in the right circumstances.

25. Diversion Decision

Instructors: Wally Moran

It’s not unusual for an instrument flight to present challenges that we couldn’t have predicted before departure. Making a diversion during the flight is one of those situations you must work out on the fly, and no two situations are every quite the same. Practice helps you prepare, however.

23. The Hanscom STAR

Instructors: Bob Nardiello

Even though you received transition training for a faster airplane capable of flying at higher altitudes, you discover a significant gap in your IFR knowledge while on what should be a routine flight at higher altitudes. It would have been if you review the procedure before departing.

22. A Danbury Approach

Instructors: Bob Martens

Non-precision approaches can be challenging, especially when the weather is near minimums. The risk increases when the airport is surrounded by terrain in all quadrants. Add a high-performance airplane that’s new to you and a wet runway, and you’ve got the recipe for trouble.

You have a problem with your airplane that could be a minor inconvenience or a full-blown emergency situation. First you’ll have to evaluate this problem in-flight. Then you’ll have to take the necessary actions for the best possible outcome even though none of your options are ideal.

20. Trouble Near Palomar

Instructors: John Krug

At a critical moment during an IFR flight, frequency congestion can turn from inconvenient to downright dangerous.

19. Approach to Mena

Instructors: Bob Nardiello

In non-radar environments, the pilot must fly an instrument approach legally, safely and efficiently without the assistance, or protection, that an air-traffic controller provides. See if you’re up to the challenge of managing all the details and decisions without a helpful eye of ATC.

Instructors: Wally Moran

You’re flying your family to Orlando, Florida so your daughter can fulfill her lifelong dream and “swim with the dolphins” at SeaWorld. Weather delays have created an urgent departure to make it there for your reserved time. Then a surprise puts your family in a potentially dangerous situation.

17. North Adams Departure

Instructors: Bob Martens

A departure from a non-towered airport into a non-radar environment at an hour when you should still be in bed, is a tough challenge for anyone. The scenario is based on a real, fatal accident and could have easily been prevented. Don’t miss the roundtable discussion for added insights.

16. Mechanical Trouble Near Millville

Instructors: John Krug

Things can go from “ops-normal” to big trouble in a heartbeat any day, but there’s an increased risk of something turning up when an aircraft has just come out of maintenance. Think your way through this difficult situation, which hits you unexpectedly during what should be a simple, 20-minute flight.
