Cool Video, thanks for posting. Winter time in the rockies can make things rather interesting to say the least...
I feel like I've been there and done that! Great video Nick!
Yeah, nice vid., but seems like an awful amount of chit chat on that app. and the missed, especially an Aspen miss...
Terrific view of great CRM and a good call on a miss.
I agree with thrustt about the unnecessary talk in the cockpit, especially from the videographer. (I can better understand why the FAA doesn't like these guys in the cockpit.) Even the two pilots don't listen to each other very well. In addition to the indecision on the missed approach, having to call for more flaps three times during the landing at Eagle is not a sign of good communication.
Exactly!!! Your comment is more forthwright than mine...
Here's the thing. If they had crashed into a mountain and the video was recovered in the debris then the NTSB would have said the cause of crash was the non-sterile cockpit. In the Comair crash in Lexington back on 2006 the pilots spoke six words that were not work related. The NTSB said these six words contributed to the accident. I am a pilot but have never flown the KASE VOR approach they were doing. I've never flown it in real-life but I have on a simulator and it was stressing. If they were VERY familiar with the approach its not as bad but you can tell the pilot flying was a little more stressed. The missed is more difficult than the actual approach. I dont judge people but the pilots were ok, the guy doing the filming was the one doing all the talking. The pilot was doing an excellent job at maintaining his airspeed so he was right on his game fortunately. If the FAA were to view this video.......and they probably will, then they may have a word with the pilots. This is why pilots dont like video camera's in the cockpit.
