A fast-moving film starring Cliff Robertson as a flight instructor giving a refresher course for pilots where the discussion goes into dramatic incidents occurring as a result of "human error."
I wonder how many people in the 60's had any idea that 60 years on, people would be watching these online and on handheld devices..... very cool that these are preserved.
but I think they would be surprised that 60 years later we are still basically flying those same planes, in many cases literally the same physical planes from the 60s
I like these training videos. Please keep posting them. I love looking up the tail numbers. The planes in this video are still airworthiness. I love the FAA education.
"The main reason for crashes is pilot error. We've got a hot dog pilot like that in the classroom today. You wanna tell your story of the botched landing, Bob?" "NO!"
Guy who ran TriPacer off runway: "My head hurts a little..Must be from excessive stupidity" FAA Official Comment: "What do all these accidents have in common?" FAA accident music..
I wish there were more videos like this, for someone who just got thier license, I can't believe how relevant this stuff still is! Almost 50 years later!
Wow, the more things change the more the stay the same. I have seen all of these things happen at my airport, except for the hand prop accident. Haven't seen someone have to hand prop yet, but I am sure some day I will see it.
So, supposedly the Tri-Pacer guy had the wind FROM the NE, 10-15, which meant he was landing downwind and his base turn was WAY wide, he ran off the left side of the runway, so the diagram on the chalk board is crap. No wonder their students are confused, the instructor is a moron. And if Chuck calls that lined up on the runway, he may need his vision checked...
It’s actually great money spent. It’s an educational film that will save millions of $$ in the future if they can use this to change future pilots behaviors. A function of the FAA is also education and prevention.
