Summary of the Video. In this video you saw a relatively inexperienced pilot conducting his first flight into a new area -- an area that may present hazards that he has not seen before. His discussion of the weather briefing suggests that he is not familiar with some of the local weather conditions, such as virga, which can produce strong downdrafts. In addition, high winds passing over the rugged mountains along his route can also produce downdrafts, in addition to the turbulence that concerns his passenger. Based on those facts, you might have chosen to identify the hazards shown in the table below. You may have noticed other hazards, or you may have chosen to rate the hazards differently. That is okay, since everyone may interpret the scenarios slightly differently. Just look at each of the videos and use your best judgment as to what hazards you think are present. |
