LANDING ACCIDENTS

[Music] Everyone likes the Daydream you just drop everything and sit back and dream but you shouldn't do it just any old time like Anon Fred Dibble once did he was coming in for a landing instead of going over his check off list he just sat back and dreamed about the future which happened to be a dinner party he was invited to that evening to to Fox 7 your wheels are [Music] up Fox seven your wheels are not down PL in Final Approach your wheels are up wheels wheels wheels [Music] he have there been many airplane accidents out there lately not a one in some time oh and there's a fly no no no no Shar talk yes well I must say these chicken croquettes are simply delightful I've never oh Mr Dibble you fly what do you consider the most difficult maneuver Well ma'am uh I'd say it was the landing accident what's that uh that is the landing you see the truth of the matter is most landing accidents can be traced to a sort of pilot fatigue after a tiring flight for instance the boys occasionally dop or oh that's a Flyer's turn now in my case I always remain alert for the entire Landing maneuver first I go over my check off list check every item and then I stay on my toes from the beginning of the approach until the plane is chock and the engine is cut I always say make every Landing your first Landing now take the approach I claim Mr dble yes sir the uh gravy please oh certainly sir it's a pleasure you've got to concentrate on a good approach to avoid Landing difficulties concentrate on a good approach and maintain a proper interval behind the plane ahead of and then keep a sharp eye in all directions some of the boys look out of one side only they often fail to see another plane or they fail to spot a hazard or to line up properly with a Runway now personally I always look out both sides and if I hit a bad slipstream I play it safe and go around again some guys I know are too timid afraid of what other flyers will think if they take another [Music] approach he who hesitates is lost you know but not me I say pour on the coal they'll respect your judgment and since you shouldn't rely on your memory go over that check off list again of course every flyer should keep an eye on that little old air speed because the most dangerous Landing accident are the result of spins in the approach any increase in turn and Bank increases your stalling speed you can't stay in the air without flying speed you know yes sir I always feel these technicalities are of interest to Layman because well so many people think that Landings are easy you see those of us who know flying never never make those uh another Landing accident whenit obvious mistakes this afternoon are the result of wheel up confounded what's the matter out there doping off do off I would like to hear some other opinions on what was the Pilot's name Pilot's name have you read Dibbles or hackworth's new book escaped forever very fine chapter on juvenile delinquency excuse me speak oh dible dible yes I know him rather well [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music]
