They open with Max’s unusual call from the NTSB, which asked him to discuss advisory glidepath guidance, the “+V” vertical path shown on some nonprecision approaches. That leads to a sharp discussion of why advisory glidepaths can become traps when pilots confuse LNAV+V or LP+V with true precision-style guidance and fail to respect MDA limits. Garmin has also released a new Service Alert on +V glide paths. Brought to you by AVEMCO aircraft insurance.

Rob and Max share what they teach student pilots about the handling of tow bars to avoid these kinds of mishaps. They then examine two preliminary reports. In Gulf Shores, Alabama, Beech A36 Bonanza N66519 crashes on approach in weather near minimums after weak radio reception, missed vectors, and a breakdown during the final phase of flight. Near Hartsburg, Missouri, Piper PA-46 Malibu Mirage N451MA breaks up in severe weather after entering a steep descending turn. The final reports are just as revealing. Cirrus SR22 N272HM near Lake Elsinore, California becomes a success story when the pilot, task-saturated in IMC, wisely pulls CAPS and survives. Cirrus SR20 N1108T in Key Largo, Florida stalls during a go-around after the flaps are retracted too quickly. The episode also includes a drunk CFI’s VFR-into-IMC Cessna 150 crash , a hand-propping accident in N26AJ, an RV-9 , and a runaway Bellanca, N8213R , left idling with a non-pilot onboa…","meta_description":"Max Trescott and Rob Mark talk about how pilots get into trouble when they misunderstand instrument procedures, mishandle a go-around, or make shockingly…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2461,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ntsb-news-talk-aviation-accidents-safety-investigations-pilot-lessons-7333682/episodes/cirrus-caps-save-go-around-stall-advisory-glidepath-trap/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ntsb-news-talk-aviation-accidents-safety-investigations-pilot-lessons-7333682/cirrus-caps-save-go-around-stall-advisory-glidepath-trap.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
