29. First Passenger First Radio Failure - 7600 Over the Hawaiian Islands
Sara Gagne learned to fly there. Got her Private, passed her checkride, took her first flight with passengers after getting her ticket there. It was a sunset sightseeing flight.
It didn’t seem quite so idyllic as she neared the end of that first flight with a passenger: suddenly, unexpectedly, her radio failed. She was NORDO. Her home airport was beneath the Honolulu Bravo. And the sun was setting.
Sara, who’s now a CFI, will discuss what happened, what went through her mind, and what she did to cope with the situation. Join us in the classroom at the WVFC PAO clubhouse Wednesday evening July 29 at 7pm to hear more about this fascinating story.
