It’s an overcast afternoon on February 3, 2019, when the pilot of a Cessna 414 Chancellor departs Fullerton Municipal Airport in California. He plans to fly VFR to Minden, Nevada, 320 nautical miles to the north.

Join the AOPA Air Safety Institute as we follow the flight that four minutes after departure encounters instrument meteorological conditions – weather air traffic control had warned the pilot about. Within another two minutes things turn from bad to ugly, in microburst conditions, turbulence, and rain showers. Learn how hazardous attitudes can betray pilots who don’t heed warnings.

All 47 passengers and two of the three crew members were killed. The first officer survived, though seriously injured.

]]> I’ve long been a junky of aviation safety videos and content. I’ve watched just about every air crash documentary and have pored thru my share of Kathryn’s Reports, NTSB reports, CVR transcripts, etc. All in the hopes that I will recognize what led up to these tragic events, so that hopefully, I’ll avoid the same mistakes.

Comair Flight 5191 strikes a special note with me as I can see just about anyone making this mistake. It was a small oversight with severer consequences. My heart goes out to the families of the soles lost and the loan survivor First Officer Jim Polehinke.

Tips to avoid this:

Before I get started on my Monday morning quarterback “here is the list of things I do” BS. Let me be clear, mistakes happen, it is our job to build protections around the mistakes so they don’t get us killed.

  1. Brief your taxi. Know where you are going and communicate it to the crew (even your imagery friend sitting next to you.) Say it, this actually works.
  2. Trust but verify… Cross check and verify before departing.
    • Set your heading bug to the assigned runway.
    • Lights, Camera, Action!
    • 23 23 you’ll hear that in some of my old videos on YouTube. This was from an airline pilot buddy of mine (Heading ~230 Runway 23.)
    • Look for runway signs.
  3. If it doesn’t look right, abort!
