NO PLAN, NO OUT: When Night Flying Goes Dark #2

This is a companion course to ALC-1607 covering the COURSE RESOURCES that support additional study of the accident reviewed in ALC-1607 to learn more about avoiding a similar tragedy.A night flight, a 300‑foot ceiling, four miles in mist—and a young private pilot pressing on without a flight plan, clearance, or a real “out.” In this episode of THE SCHIFF SHOW, we dissect a Cessna 172's collision with terrain and show how smart procedures, solid stick‑and‑rudder techniques, and today's cockpit technology could have turned a near‑tragedy into a non‑event. Learn more to see exactly where this flight went off the rails—and how to ensure your next night launch doesn't become someone else's accident report.
