Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk, a weekly show with relevant news and flying tips for pilots and student pilots to help keep you safe.

I'm Max Ruscott. This week, the NTSB held a four-hour-long board meeting and went through all of the factors that led to the crash of an Atlas Air 767 last year, which suddenly plummeted from 6,000 feet into a bay near Houston.

And the reason we're talking about it today is that there are many factors from this accident

that apply to GA pilots.

And like most accidents, there was not just one but many factors that led to this crash.

And like most GA accidents, pilot air was the cause,

and it led to the loss of three lives and a perfectly good 767. One of the many causes was

somatogravic illusion, and we'll touch on that today, but I also plan to do a separate episode

on that soon as it affects all pilots in a variety of ways. Now, last week in episode 155, we talked with Dr. Catherine Kavanaugh about spin avoidance

and spin recovery.

So if you miss that episode, I really recommend you see the video version of it on my YouTube

channel as I included all of Catherine's videos that we talked about in that episode.

And you can see that version by going on YouTube and searching

for Aviation News Talk. And I'll be doing a video version of this episode, so look for that on

YouTube in a few days. And if you subscribe to my YouTube channel now, you'll be notified when I

post that video version of this episode in a few days. And you can do that on my YouTube channel,

and there's also a link in the show notes.

And at the very end of the show, I'll tell you how you can support this show financially,

as this is a listener-supported show, and I greatly appreciate your donations via Patreon

and PayPal, as I'm not teaching in the air these days because of the high levels of COVID

in this area. Also, at the end of the episode, I'll run through five things that

pilots should take away from this accident. See if you can pick them out while listening to the show.
