![]() Back to the OT. I read the report and this discussion. To me this accident looks like a perfect example of the "Swiss cheese model" which describes how several small individual mistakes may combine to cause an accident. A question to the CFIs in the group: Do you normally include a set of "unexpected events" such as the abnormal go-around that was a factor in this accident, in your flight training syllabus before solo, even though the regulations might not require it? Here are some examples that I have experienced either as watcher or pilot, that might be useful to rehearse with each student before solo. (Note that some of them need cooperation from ATC): - Orbit in the pattern (for spacing) in various locations and aircraft configurations. - Go-around with a heading change and nonstandard pattern re-join (like in this accident). - Taxi into position ("Line up" for the Europeans) then ATC orders a/c to expediently vacate runway. - In a touch and go, after the "touch" the a/c is ordered to make it a full stop landing. - Landing clearance simply omitted. (should result in go-around) - Landing clearance only after a/c is beyond the threshold. - A/c is requested to land long, in order to be able to vacate runway more expediently. - Low fly-by to enable tower to inspect a/c (with binoculars) for possible landing gear defect. In my own case I had rehearsed only some of these events during training, so when they eventually occurred it was "exciting", with probably increased risk level. So maybe they would be good to rehearse before solo? |
