Emergency Scenarios tailored to Real World Problems

Throughout your course of training to become a pilot, starting at the student pilot level, you’re trained to handle emergencies but for many pilots they never have a real life emergency.

If or when that time comes it can be scary. You never know when it's going to happen and there is the “oh crap” factor. When I saw my oil temperature rising and pressure decreasing over the mountains at 10,000ft, that was my first reaction and the last place I wanted an engine failure but there was nothing I could do except revert to my training and “do - verify” my checklist (one that should be memorized). I might not have had 10,000ft and time to verify that checklist. Which is why Sporty’s came out with a new Emergency Strategies: a Pilot friendly Manual.

This is not just a regeneration of the POH or FAA document with a bunch of words. It's a guide that is designed and written by pilots, the ones who do understand what it's like to experience an engine failure at a low altitude. It covers a multitude of real life scenarios of various severities from lost comms to pilot incapacitation. The purpose of the guide is to lay out the information without the fluff, help you make smart decisions and give you extra information to recognize and react to scenarios that you may have never been given in training. You can download the digital version to keep on your Ipad or get the printed version to keep in your flightbag. Due to the high demand for this manual, Sportys is offering $20 off the printed version, originally $69.

No matter your phase of training and how many emergency scenarios you’ve practiced, you can never stop learning. One way to not be prepared is to think it's not going to happen to you. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. This manual would be great for student pilots bridging the gap between memorizing the checklists/ procedures and understanding what to actually do in the moment.
