PLEASE SHARE! Ever had an inflight emergency? We talk with three pilots who’ve had their share of scary moments while piloting aircraft. Mark Danielson, Tamara Griffith and Travis Jay share their wisdom about what to do when emergencies strike and also tell stories about their own moments when things didn’t go right.

Good stuff!
Great discussion! You always have to be thinking what if, and what’s next. In the Cirrus I always keep #2 GPS on nearest airport when in cruise. The Foreflight glide distance ring is also a good reference for deciding if I could make the nearest field, or need to pull the chute. Great channel BTW! Looking forward to more videos.
Great Stuff! Thank you!
Very nicely done! When I saw it was 25+ minutes long I thought I'd probably watch it in two segments. It kept my attention and after 25 minutes, I wanted more. Looking forward to the next episode.
There seems to be a frame rate issue starting around 1:05
Good stuff keep it coming
Great job guys, keep 'em coming!
I've never had an emergency flying but have worked many as a controller. Really enjoyed this. Good food for thought and reminders.
Go Christy! Great job!! Excited see your next episode!
What? No aeronautical chart yoga pants, Christy?
Nice first episode. Looking forward to the next.
Fantastic discussion; great episode
Looking forward to your next episode.
Enjoyed this video. I experienced my only engine failure picking up a Cessna 182 in New Brunfells . All the training and practice I did over the years paid off. I was at 100' when I blew #5 cylinder, and I was able to put it down before the end of the runway. No matter what happens remember to fly the plane. I also was involve in a double engine failure in the Navy while we were landing in Rota, Spain. I was just a crewman at that time before I got a pilots license.
Just found this site, wow…. as a low time new pilot it’s a great learning spot to come. Keep the episodes coming please and thanks. 🍺
Wow… that was intense. I'm glad that I subscribed
Read the “killing zone” before you read any other aviation guide, then read it again after you have read all the other stupid stuff out there.
Great video. I was an active GA pilot until my children came along. I still flew in the back of airplanes as a contractor with a class 3 medical. Also I was required to have an active altitude chamber training. This was something that really opened my eyes to my hypoxic symptoms. I think GA pilots flirt with Hypoxia more than airline or military pilots since they fly at 10,000 – 12,000 feet or I did anyway. I think all GA pilots should go for altitude chamber training (The FAA offers it for free but you have to get to Oklahoma City).
Thanks for the discussion! I would love to have a channel that discusses this. Thanks for the great content. New subscriber here!
Outstanding. Really well done, I enjoyed it. Keep me coming. 😀😀😀😀
Aviation is a small world! I'm listening to this story of a crippled twin beech landing at an airport that was recently repaved and no marking thinking, no way! This is that twin beech that landed after I did. After making the discussion to call it a day because Oshkosh went IFR, Iwas trying to find someplace to stay the night. I heard someone say, There a twin with a engine out getting ready to land. Seems like everybody was there. A DC-3 showed up and I just missed the Flying Cowboys from UT to enclude Drakco the fire breathing Wilga. We were 90 miles from KOSH, and we had our own airshow/fly-in. Travis fixed the control problem on that motor and I watched him do his test flight the next day.
Great video. Thank you. No telling how many lives you are saving by talking about this.
Very informative, very well presented.
While I was a student pilot, on a solo cross country flight I landed in Ardmore Oklahoma, jumped back in the C150 and begin to fly back to Addison Texas, on climb out making my crosswind turn I swear I was hit by another airplane, it sounded just like you would imagine what a propeller ripping thru a fuselage would sound like, after 2 seconds of pure terror I realized I was still flying but that sound was still there. I turned to downwind and the sound reduced, I continued back to the airport and landed safely. Once on the ground I found the co-pilots seat belt hanging out of the cabin door. I guess when I was on the ground I reached in the the co-pilots door to grab my log book to get signed at the FBO and pulled the belt out the door.
Being a student pilot and having just landed a perfectly good flying airplane 5 minutes prior to my departure I did not do a walk around. I know now my bad. But I have to thank my instructor and his training, stop, think, assess the situation, the airplane was still flying, no need to panic, what do you do next, get on the ground as soon as possible.
If you have never had a seat belt banging on the outside of your aircraft I'm hear to tell you it is a real attention getter.
Really well done! I’d love to know what problem the guy had with what Sully did. It was sort of a back handed compliment.
I first saw the lovely Christie on Flying Doodles with her Wong Warrior. Please tell how she became a host on Taking Off. I love it.
Whats with the choppy ass 20 fps video
13:20 500 feet Possible Impossible Turn. Made it to grass part of a runway,.. Good pilot only can do that..
Zzz.
There are new airports opening? That's honestly surprising. What's the name? 🙂
I lost 20” of a fixed pitch prop while towing a banner over a city. Engine tore itself to pieces and broke from three mounts.
Now there’s a story!
What is with the girl's shoes on the right.
Was that Beach 18 at Hicks for a while. It is beautiful.
Confusion between "Declaring an emergency" and "Pilots use of Emergency Authority" (the latter does require paperwork) is an interesting discussion for you to address…
I finally put together a compilation of take offs and landings. the gem is that twin Beech landing on one motor. It's just after the DC-3 taxiing up to the ramp.
Here is the link, (shameless plug!)

He was talking about the Qantas flight and he said they forgot to fly the plane but that's not true they did a GREAT job flying the plane there entire hydruolic failure they had no autopilot they had no control surfaces for a long time and they had no idea what was going on because the entire electric system went down and they had to manually calculate the fuel and if they could land and they were actually too heavy and they landed with basically no controls and no help from the planes systems and super heavy,. I just wanted to correct him because I don't want people thinking the pilots were at fault because they were some amazing pilots also the first officer was brand new and he did exactly what he was supposed to do
Millikan interrupts a guy in middle lof sentence
The taxi of shame haha!
The information produced by your channel and others is invaluable. I spent over 20 years going in and out of remote camps and the pilots were our lifeline. I always wanted to learn to fly but had some issues that prohibited it. I watch the videos and testimonials and recommend any person wanting to enter aviation watch as many hours of these platforms as they can it may save your life as well as any passengers or someone on the ground. Thank you all for sharing.
The guy talking about not worrying about the airplane, just make sure you can walk away from the landing, reminds me of a saying we had in Army Aviation, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, if you can reuse the aircraft after it, it’s a really good landing!!!”
How did I find this only today
Absolutely very informative even years after being posted. Thank you
Love you guys! You should really think of podcast aviation radio. I'll be the first to subscribe.
Excellent video!! Great conversations on one issue with the same outcome—fly the airplane!!
