Summary
271 Max reads listener letters and feedback. A listener asks if owners are more invested in their aircraft and more likely to do an impossible turn than renter pilots. Multiple listeners provide inputs on PC-12 autopilot disconnects. There was another Diamond DA42 crash, this time in Slovenia. The FAA has Recommendations for Workload Management and Automation Use in single pilot jets. And two listeners share their experiences with precipitation or p-static.

| 0:00.0 | Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk for a Friday mailbag special. |
| 0:06.0 | Now, this is a show where we talk in general aviation for pilots and student pilots to help |
| 0:10.0 | keep you safe. I'm Max Truscott, and each week I hear from many of you, but often there's |
| 0:14.7 | not enough time to include all of your emails in the weekly show. But I have a particularly |
| 0:18.7 | good collection that I wanted to share with you today. |
| 0:21.3 | Several of them are in response to episode 267 in which we talked about what led to the fatal |
| 0:26.8 | breakup of a Metavac Pilates PC12 in Nevada. So if you didn't hear that episode, you may want to |
| 0:32.7 | check it out at AviationNewsTalk.com slash 267. First up is a recorded listener question, and I prefer having |
| 0:40.1 | recorded questions, so I give them top priority on the show. In a moment, I'll tell you how to send |
| 0:45.2 | me a recording asking that question that's been on your mind. Here's Daniel. Hey, Max, this is |
| 0:51.2 | Daniel. I was listening to your episode about The Impossible Term, and something |
| 0:55.1 | occurred to me, which I haven't heard discussed anywhere else, and that is the difference between |
| 0:59.5 | renters and owners. As a renter, I don't have the slightest hesitation about putting a plane |
| 1:05.5 | into a field. My priority is completely about my survival and my passenger survival, whereas as an owner, |
| 1:13.0 | I can understand having a bigger emotional attachment to the aircraft, and I might be more likely |
| 1:18.4 | to want to turn around and try to get back to a runway. In fact, if I was the builder, I would be |
| 1:24.0 | even more invested. If I had spent 10 years building an airplane, I would |
| 1:27.9 | definitely be trying to get back to the runway. So I'm just curious if you've read anything about that |
| 1:32.7 | and how the psychology differs between renters and owners. Daniel, thank you so much for taking |
| 1:38.6 | the time to record your question. What you say makes total sense. And no, I've never read anything |
| 1:43.4 | about this before, but I totally agree with your analysis. |
| 1:46.9 | And it certainly fits an impossible turn accident that occurred perhaps 10 years ago on an airport |
