A really good article. How about floatplane ditchings and flippings, cold water survival and cold weather preparedness? Not everyone is lucky enough to have a 4,000 ft. runway nearby. And then there’s the blackflies and no-see-ums in the balmy summer months. The folks dealing with grizzlies/browns know enough about what to do– it’s the rest of us locals who think every flight ends at the hangar or the dreaded dispatch desk where your wallet is exposed to the realities of cost.
I had planned to talk about seaplane (and mountain) ops, but my guess is that viewers really don’t want to sit through any more than 15 or 20 minutes of this stuff. Some readers voiced that they don’t have the palat for video at all. Maybe we’ll take a look at seaplane ops in a separate report.
A video segment or 2, (maybe 3) in 20 minute segments about mountain ops would be very educational to us flat landers out east. Not too long for most folks, just enough to get good information for dealing with challenging issues of mountain ops.
Long ago, someone told me that for every 10 miles an hour you are above 60 mph when you crash, your chance of getting killed doubles. Haven’t personally verified it though.
Kinetic energy is 1/2*m*v^2, so all else equal, the you have twice as much kinetic energy going 85 mph as you do at 60 mph. It is from the ratio of the squares of the speed, i.e., 85^2 / 60^2 = 2. Going 70 mph vs 60 mph is 70^2 / 60^2 = 1.36.
Thanks.
