Episode 184 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: A pilot explains his decision-making process while experiencing an inflight emergency.  We learn how he dealt with air traffic control, flying the plane, and briefing his passengers.  Great job, Mike Bravo!  We also get an update on the “Mayday Mayday Mayday” episode from earlier this summer.
