178 Seconds to live
Don’t get lured into the trap
THAT REPORTED FIVE MILE VISIBILITY looks
more like two…but, you’ve flown through weather like this before. Suddenly you’re in the soup and somewhere a voice is saying, “You should have turned back.” You now have 178 seconds to live… Nearly 90 percent of VFR-into-IMC accidents are fatal. But, you can be pivotal in preventing these accidents from happening. Let your students experience what spatial disorientation feels like. And show this brief video: It is an excellent way to demonstrate what could happen to VFR pilots who are tempted to press on into IMC. Find free resources on the topic in one convenient place at the Air Safety Institute’s Safety Spotlight: VFR into IMC.
