    #26 - Gear down water landings

    #26 - Gear down water landings

    At last years (2019) Seaplane Pilots Association of Australia conference, I did a presentation on gear down water landings. I am happy to share with you all the presentation, slightly modified for the podcast format. It is such a simple mistake that can be deadly, so why is it still happening today and how can we go about preparing ourselves more thoroughly to avoid this disaster.

    #3 - Seaplane CFIT: Benny Seniors lucky escape and return to flying

    After scoring his start as a seaplane pilot he was long waiting for, Benny enjoyed flying Beaver floatplanes in one of Australia's most iconic locations. He upgraded to the Cessna Caravan, the pride of the fleet and continued to build experience until an unfortunate accident involving controlled flight into terrain put a stop to his unique lifestyle. Enduring months of self doubt and emotional hardship, Benny overcame those issues to pursue further employment within the seaplane industry including a stint with an overseas operator, and now enjoys a successful career as an IFR Caravan Pilot. His story is inspirational, powerful and positive.
