You became faultless when.Me in the kill files.That frame of mind ;I bet you
first. "Morgans" wrote in message ... "STEVEN SIMPSON" wrote I wrote this to show that the most experianced and well trained pilot may become complacent.Even you sir.I hope all can learn from my mistake. Un-fricking-believeable. Put it off on everyone/someone else. A *smart* pilot would have found the first place to set down and get some more fuel, when the air time said the reserve was going to be cut into. The reserve is to be still be in the tanks when you land, not to be used to get where you wanted to go, because of headwinds, or vectors, or .... It is amazing what opportunities open up to you, when you declare a (fuel) emergency. Airports that you could not ordinarily get in to, will put you first, straight in, if necessary. Good on you, for getting some refresher on planning. Bad on you, for ever letting your margins get that close. -- Jim in NC |
