Summary
Today we learn some important lessons that affect every pilot on every mission flown, no matter how experienced that pilot is. Do we “push the envelope” on a flight because of familiarity, because we got through marginal weather before, or do we assess each flight thoroughly? A relatively short flight became dangerous because the pilot had “been there, done that.” But it got him in an icy situation. Gene Benson from Vectors for Safety shares his story.
