27 Mar 2022Ep 22 - Ditching Part 2 of 2 - Lyn Gray Interview00:41:53

Would you like to know more? Flick me a message!

On 9 June in 2006, a Piper PA-44-180 Seminole aircraft, registered VH-CZE, departed Santa Barbara California for Hilo, Hawaii. During the flight, the pilot in command advised US Air Traffic Services that the left engine had failed and that the aircraft would have to be ditched as the aircraft was 7 hrs from Hilo but only had 5 hrs of fuel endurance remaining. At about 0145 UTC, the aircraft ditched 980 km north-east of Hilo. This is her story.

Would you like to know more? Flick me a message!

When we do things day after day, with little change to routine, or something that isn’t particularly challenging once we become familiar with it, we leave ourselves open to mistakes. When it comes to complacency in Aviation it is dangerous. Not only is it dangerous, but it can be a killer. In this episode I discuss how complacency can creep into our day to day operations and look at several accidents which have occurred as a result.
