Listen Later

When the fire bell rings at 5,000 feet, your IQ drops by about 50 points instantly. In this episode, Jeff dives into the nightmare scenario every pilot trains for but hopes never to see: an engine fire. We’re moving past the "textbook" answers and getting into the grit of why rigid adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is the only thing that keeps you alive when the cockpit starts filling with smoke. From muscle memory to the specific multi-engine protocols in the Twin Comanche, learn how to stay cool when things get hot. Because in a crisis, you don't rise to the occasion—you sink to the level of your training.
