If it can happen to another pilot, it can happen to you! In this edition of MentorLIVE, Captain Brian Schiff will present several scenarios inspired by NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) reports.
Studying real-world scenarios is an excellent way to learn and practice Aeronautical Decision Making skills.
And, of course, no presentation by Captain Schiff is complete without some excercises and brain teasers. Come on down and play "What would you have done?"
