Real Pilot Story

WATCH NOW
IN THIS REAL PILOT STORY, LEARN WHAT SCHIEWE DID
WHEN HE REALIZED HE HAD ONLY SECONDS TO LAND
THE AIRPLANE (AIRSAFETYINSTITUTE.ORG/RPSFIRE).
Consider how you would have handled this frightening inﬂight
emergency: Your feet are on ﬁre and the cockpit is full of smoke; you need
to ﬁnd a place to land-right now. What would you have done to keep the
airplane under control while searching for a ﬁeld?
Airline crews frequently practice cabin and cockpit smoke and ﬁre drills
in the relative comfort of a full-motion ﬂight simulator. But, you don't
have the beneﬁt of such a realistic drill. You can, however, take a good
look at the airplane's emergency checklist, make sure your aircraft has

a properly charged ﬁre extinguisher (and know its location and how to operate
it), and discuss "what if" scenarios with your students-it could one day be the
difference between life and death while battling the real thing in the air.
Take away several practical lessons from this incredible story and learn how
Schiewe and his student lived through a desperate struggle for survival. Then,
check out ASI's In-Flight Electrical Fires Safety Brief (airsafetyinstitute.org/
electricalﬁreSB), which looks at ways you can minimize the chances of an
electrical ﬁre, and be better prepared in the event one occurs.
Be primed and know your options when smoke and ﬁre ﬁll the cockpit.
