Praise the inventors of flight simulators, huh?
I think that this is another example of "learning the hard way" when it comes to procedures being taught before and after an incident. Aviation history is so full of these things.  :-/

I wonder how even a trained pilot feels when he's flying out of anything with the stick shaker active (not because of malfunction but because of measurements). Not talking about a simulator situation there.
Lou, did you get some response from guys explaining how they felt in this or that "close" rw situation?
Did some of them thank you for training them?

And don't forget to keep your passengers informed about all things happening.

Quote:
A plane was taking off from New York Airport. After it reached a cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 123, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax – OH, MY GOD!”

Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen I am so sorry if I scared you earlier; but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap.
You should see the front of my pants!” A passenger in Economy said, That’s nothing. He should see the back of mine!”


Praise my current postcount. What a number, huh?
