Citation caught in CAT - Listen to the story - AIN Podcast

When it all Goes Sideways

Having reached their 43,000-foot cruise altitude, the crew of  a corporate Citation XLS had their world almost literally  turned upside down. Like a rogue wave far out at sea, clear  air turbulence can come from nowhere, and a routine flight  can instantly become a heart-stopping roller coaster ride.  Like many before them, this crew battled not only a gut- wrenching upset and aerodynamic stall, but even more  significantly, they experienced the paralyzing effects of  shock. In this episode, we’ll hear from one of the pilots, as well as  experts in the field of upset recovery training. We’ll also  learn how proper conditioning can enable pilots to react  quickly and calmly when confronted with a “one in a  million” event.
