Local news is covering this one today...
9News: http://bit.ly/jZ80YR
Transcript: http://bit.ly/iCZFif
I had my dad and my wife both take the ASF's "Pinch-Hitter" online course. I also try to keep them in the loop of where we are and what we're doing in case I were to ever become incapacitated.
Notable items from the transcript:
- Controllers are awesome people. 'nuff said about that.
- Nice job by the Great Lakes guys trying to help out.
- The infamous Cirrus "Straight and Level" button is mentioned by the wife.
- The controllers talk about having her pull the 'chute to survive if the pilot never regains consciousness.
- Wife mentions that husband is on oxygen but not responding. I hope a) the tank was empty, or b) he's going to go get himself checked out!
You gotta watch out for hypoxia in the Southwest... our en route altitudes are pretty high.
