ad hoc profile
Yeah, Sam, I wanna hear the FIRST mission audio. i realize that the weather may not have been much of a factor but did they fly the same profile?
Seems things go south when we change the flight plan and haven't plotted our exact course and turns and such. Even then, we have to have an escape maneuver/turn/climb when things aren't what we planned for, ya think?
Many of us here have flown in mountainous terrain that had rapidly changing weather. But those of us still posting here prolly had our abort plan ready, and it was well-thought out and could be executed in a second or two. in other words, we didn't have to improvise. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
