Every pilot knows that it's not a matter of if but rather when they will experience their first in-flight emergency. If that happens, it's important for them to know how to correctly respond in order to increase their own survivability as well as that of their passengers during a potential crash landing. What are some of the considerations pilots should keep in mind? How can they mitigate resulting injuries and/or fatalities? What actions and gear can make such an event survivable? In this course, professional pilot, flight instructor, and accident investigator Melanie A. Folcik Barillaro argues that every crash is survivable. She gives us insights into how pilots can enhance their chances in the case of an off-airport emergency crash landing, what investigators look for after a crash, and how the lessons learned from every accident improve overall aviation safety.
