  1. VMC into IMC continues to be a world-wide stubborn source of too many accidents & deaths. In this video we look at a 2022 Australian case study involving a Cessna 182 Skylane, analyse what went wrong in that case, & then provide some advice on preferably avoiding VFR into IMC, or surviving it if entered inadvertently. Hope you find it interesting. If this helps save even one life, I will be a happy chappie. Cheers.

  2. Sadley, I have looked at too many of these same situations that ended in the death of pilots and their passengers. They all had those same cascading series of mistakes in thinking. Thanks for the look at avoidable accident that should be a lesson for all.

  3. Australia, through the Australian Royal Flying Corps in WW1, but mainly through the Royal Australian Air Force in New Guinea in WW2, spear-headed the initial development of, what is today called, Forward Air Control (FAC) for the precise & safe application of close air support. Come see the history of how this happened, while flying a range of different aircraft in MSFS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. https://youtu.be/Afi4sGJ31W8?si=aMCnwH-X_4Rpua-b

  4. I had to find the article again because I once had looked into the subject of FAC and CAS when I learned about the British and Australian air force had fought in Palestine. Page four of this Air Power History magazine, https://www.afhistory.org/airpowerhistory/Air_Power_History_2006_winter.pdf Thanks for bringing the visuals on this interesting subject, all our counties continue to improve FAC and CAS to limit innocent casualties. We can only hope that one day cowardly armies will not hide behind innocent civilians and bring that number to zero.
