System Awareness

How often do you look at your ammeter when you're in cruise flight? How about your oil pressure gauge? If you're honest, your answer should probably be "not often enough." Situational awareness requires being aware of your aircraft systems, too. In this webinar, Mike Busch discusses two recent lightplane flights that were cut short because the aircraft's Lycoming engines lost oil pressure, lost power, and seized. One of the pilots made it to an airport, the other didn't. Mike will deconstruct both flights and talk about some important lessons all pilots can learn from them.
