A Passengers Worst Nightmare
A friend emailed me this link that has the audio and radar track for an inflight emergency where the pilot died a few minutes after take off. This thing is 38 minutes long but well worth listening to. There were many thoughts that went thru my mind while listening, but the main one was that I need to get after my wife to take the controls a bit more. Maybe hearing an event such as this unfold will help others out there to convince their partner to learn how to fly a bit and how to land, or convince the partners of the need. Certainly our next few flights together will be spent teaching the autopilot to Sher so she can relax while she has a breakdown.

Thanks for posting this Bryan. It motivates me to brief my passengers better.

He handled it well
I agree - the wife will have to get trained. Autopilot usage and panel identification is an absolute must. Great video.

Absolutely engrossing!
Hat's off to everyone involved. Controllers and passenger/pilot did a great job.
I'm going have to get my spouse up-to-speed, too!

everyone should learn to fly
Another example of the utility of being a pilot. I just can't imagine how this would have turned out had the guy not been a pilot.
I wonder if the ATC folks are trained for this type of event - they sure handled it well. I am also curious if they didn't brief a go around deliberately.

On approach you can hear a couple of controllers in the background relaying info to King Air drivers to come up with into for this guy. They all acted very cool under fire.
