Epiosde 087: Night IFR Electrical Failure: ATC And A Cell Phone Save A Doctor – Interview With Controller Phil Enis. On Super Bowl Sunday, Dr. Peter Edenhoffer was flying IFR at night in a Cessna Cardinal when he lost his electrical system. He'd already texted his son to say goodbye. Then he received a text message from Fort Worth Center, which gave him hope for surviving when he realized he wasn't alone. Max interviews NATCA'S Archie League Medal Of Safety President's Award winner controller Phil Enis about this save.
