How often do you practice manuevers that you might often need? If you\'re like most general aviation pilots, your answer will probably be, "rarely".\\xa0 Whether it\'s an engine out, runway trim, loss of automation, or the need for a go around, being ready for these incidents is more than just theory.\\xa0 This week\'s discussion\\xa0also included\\xa0examples that impacts the non-pilot in the aviation community.\\xa0\\xa0For example, how often does ATC practice commanding airliners to "go around" or to "abort a takeoff"?\\xa0\\xa0After listening to the ATC tape of the aborted take off of a British Airways 777 (engine fire) in Las Vegas,\\xa0you\'d guess that they practice it all the time (take a listen)!\\xa0
