The Case of the Confounding Crosswind Component
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of thorough flight planning and the decisions pilots must make when unexpected changes occur during a flight.
How many times have we jumped in an airplane for a short flight without doing complete flight planning? Most of the time there are no consequences. But what would you do if you thought you’d done due diligence in your planning and something changed en route? Divert? Go back to where you started? Or was there another option? Host Rob Reider discusses this cautionary tale with pilot Randy Bolinger. Sponsored by Avemco.
