118. Dave Spreanza
About this episode
Rob Reider interviews Dave Speranza about his experience with spatial disorientation as a non-instrument-rated pilot in IMC.
Spatial disorientation accounts for less than 10% of fixed wing GA accidents; but among those, the fatality rate is 90% - a horrible statistic that hasn’t declined in the past two decades even with significant advancements in avionics. Host Rob Reider chats with Dave Speranza, who at the time was a non-instrument-rated pilot who inadvertently found himself in IMC. He’ll share how it affected him and how he handled the situation.
