Tag: Safety Meeting

Steve discuss some updates on aircraft status and operations. Then a review of go-arounds with an interesting video from Chief Pilot Mike MacMann with (some funny but also many serious) examples of when go-arounds would be the preferred course of action.

Fun fact: Mike has personally landed on the short runway near the beach in the video (it’s in St. Barts in the Carribbean) and can personally speak to the difficulty landing there.

Finally, a plug for an upcoming FAAST seminar on Aviation Emergency First Responder Training that I took, good for 4 hours of WINGS or MA/CT CEUs (for EMTs/Nurses). A practical session will be in May in Groton, CT.

Unfortunately, no spiral ham or other yummy treats this year. Hopefully we’ll be able to resume that next year.

In the meantime, please find the video below with some thoughts from Steve, then Nate shares some thoughts from our awesome mechanics, and shares an experience hopefully all can learn from.

Apologies for the video/audio being out of sync and the audio choppiness, the video segments with Steve were unfortunately corrupted before I could assemble it all for publishing.
