Summary196 Max talks with Colin Aro about density altitude and mountain flying. He also talks about what glider pilots know that can help you when flying near mountains. Being high, hot, and/or humid results in high density altitude, which lowers aircraft performance. In mountains, consider weather factors including updrafts and downdrafts. Keep your aircraft light and fly early in the day.

Summary 195 Max talks with Dierk Reuter about collecting flight data from the G3000 in TBM aircraft and plotting it against stable approach criteria. About 150 TBM pilots are participating and the data shows that those pilots are improving their approach and landing skills. This is important, as there have been some issues in the past with prop strikes, especially when pilots are unstable and land too fast.

192 Avoiding Takeoff Emergencies with Flying Magazine's Rob Mark
Your Cirrus Specialist. Call me if you're thinking of buying a new Cirrus SR20 or SR22. Call 1-650-967-2500 for Cirrus purchase and training assistance, or to take my online seminar: So You Want to Fly or Buy a Cirrus.

If you have a question you'd like answered on the show, let listeners hear you ask the question, by recording your listener question using your phone.
Summary192 Max talks with Flying Magazine's Rob Mark about minimizing takeoff risks. Per the NTSB, 26% of fatalities occur during takeoff, so pilots need to plan for what they'll do if things don't go well during the takeoff. Engine failure can occur, but a partial power loss is three times more likely than a complete engine failure. Rob also shares a long list of tips for avoiding takeoff emergencies.
Rob's Tips for Avoiding Takeoff Emergencies • Don't simply read the before-takeoff checklist; make sure you've accomplished the required tasks. • Recheck that the tank chosen for takeoff contains sufficient fuel. • Check that the backup fuel pump is on if the aircraft requires it for takeoff. • Recheck that takeoff flaps are properly set. • How many inches of manifold pressure and/or what rpm should the engine deliver during the takeoff roll? • Don't accept an intersection departure that leaves valuable runway behind you. • Note the distance (in feet) of your upcoming ground roll. • Highlight the intersection where the aircraft should break ground. • If you're not airborne by the highlighted spot, do you have enough remaining runway to stop? • Have you surveyed the area off the departure end of the runway for potential landing spots? • If you've never practiced making a 180-degree turn back after a loss of power, don't make today the day to try one. • If you're forced into an off-airport landing, your job is to protect the people on board—the airplane's insured.

Pilots and ramp workers need to protect their hearing even when walking around.
