Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk where we talk General Aviation with relevant

news and flying tips for pilots and student pilots to help keep you safe. I'm Max Ruscott. I'm the

author of several books on the Garmin G-1000, G-3, G5,000, and prospective glass cockpits,

the 2008 National Flight Instructor of the Year, and yes, I'm recovering from a little bit of a cold, so I may sound a little different today.

Today we're talking about the crash of a Cessna 208 caravan in Idaho last month, and the visual illusion pilots experience when flying in mist and fog that causes them to pitch in the wrong direction.

Plus, I'll tell you the surprising thing I learned when I flew the Idaho approach

in a G-1000 flight training device at my flight school.

Last week in episode 229, we talked about why instrument pilots often don't file IFR

and sometimes crash in IMC, and we talked about the percentage of instrument pilots who

aren't current and yet still file IFR.

So if you didn't hear that episode, you may want to check it out at AviationNewstalk.com

slash 229.

And this is a listener-supported show, and we're still ad-free.

So think about what you might pay for an hour of really great ground instruction.

the show. This week in the news, a Red Bull plane swap pilot confesses he didn't tell his teammates

that the FAA deny their request for an exemption. Gunfire hits a Cessna 172 in a Massachusetts traffic pattern, and we'll tell you what a

fisherman pulled up in his net off the coast of Cape May, New Jersey.

All this and more, and the news starts now.

From Instagram, and this is the account of Luke Aitkins.

He wrote, as project lead and chief pilot, it was entirely my responsibility to operate within the regulatory framework to ensure a successful outcome.
