Making decisions can be challenging in high-pressure situations, especially for general aviation (GA) pilots. That's why Astral Aviation Consultancy offers The Decision Making Debrief, a series of real-life flying videos designed to help pilots improve their decision-making skills when facing challenges. These videos provide valuable learning experiences and insights from others' mistakes.
In this flight debrief, The Flying Reporter, Jon Hunt, demonstrates how Air Traffic Control (ATC) can assist when the cockpit workload increases.
What would you do if you were caught off guard by the weather? Have you ever experienced flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) only to encounter Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC)?
How does fatigue affect you as a pilot? Join Jon Hunt, The Flying Reporter, as he discusses how fatigue can impact you as a general aviation (GA) pilot.
Jon Hunt, The Flying Repoter, recalls a flight that he undertook that was quite unsettling—he had a close call during takeoff. Despite all the calculations, he ended up using every single millimetre of the mile-long runway during the takeoff.
Altitude busts happen when an aircraft accidentally flies through an altitude that air traffic control (ATC) has cleared it to keep, climb to, or descend to. Watch how a simple distraction causes an altitude bust.
Press-on-itis (also known as get-there-itis) refers to the tendency to persist in pursuing a planned destination or goal, even when safer alternatives are available. Jon experienced press-on-itis when his desire to reach his destination clouded his judgment.
