Default Emergency


"Peter R." wrote

If one flies a lot, one is bound to experience an unplanned mechanical
failure of some type that could be classified as a minor emergency.

Proficiency is not always about "avoiding" a situation, but rather
sometimes it is about "handling" an unavoidable situation.


True, and I hesitated to write that, because of situations not of the
pilot's doing, but examples given (carb heat, poor fuel planning, switching
to wrong tank at night, ect) "should" not ever happen.
