Things That Go Bump In The Night, November 19, 2017
Just as Rhonda and Marc were preparing for the show on November 12th, a Cessna 210 was approaching it's destination at KPWK after an uneventful trip from South Dakota.\xa0 ATC descended the plane to 2500 feet, a regular procedure for the RNAV/GPS 16 approach.\xa0 And then it happened.\xa0 A loud bang, a bunch of smoke and a stopped prop.\xa0 All of this in IMC and long past sunset.
\u200bListen in and hear from the pilot himself, John Korinke, about how he put his training to the test, establishing best glide, notifying ATC, and getting vectors to a closer airport (C81).\xa0 In the end,\xa0he touched down short of the airport, but skidded towards the runway, coming to the stop on the numbers.\xa0 That tops all of us when we talk about landing on the numbers.\xa0\xa0John walked away uninjured and feeling good about the result.\xa0 But also learned many lessons.\xa0\xa0All of us as pilots, think about the unthinkable and wonder what it's like.\xa0 Will we keep our emotions in check?\xa0 How will it impact our decision making? \xa0
\u200bHere's your chance to hear it first hand from the left seat.\xa0\xa0\xa0John tells the story with lessons learned and questions answered.\xa0 Believe me, you don't want to miss this show.
