All webinars are recorded and can be accessed at https://www.ssa.org/Webinars. You can log in to the SSA website from anywhere and at anytime and watch the recorded webinars on any device. I heard that durning this webinar, it should be available in about 2 weeks.

Excellent !!
I'm new to all this ... trying to learn about all this feels like trying to drink from a fire hose!

If you go to the SSA website and click to register for the webinar (even though it already happened) it will show you the recording upon clicking submit to register. I have noticed that the webinar recording is available within hours after the webinar, but you have to re-register for you to see it. Cool little hack :-)

Just reregister for the webinar and after you hit submit it will bring up the video recording of the webinar that you can watch.

Go here https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6280749465370365185?source=SSA+email+blast

Register, click submit, then it will show you the recording

If you want credit for the FAA Wings program, you need to do the webinar live, watching a replay does not count.
I will say, just for the info, a replay is perfectly fine.

Couldn't agree more! This was one of the best accident analyses I have seen. brutally honest and factual. Ramy's comments added a lot of background info.
Well done, David, Ramy & Bruno - thanks!

Completely fascinating webinar. A real life-saver!

That was, for me, a hair raising webinar. The hair on the back of my neck literally stood up several times.
No Knock to David but I think it should have been Titled: How Several bad decisions almost cost me my life. He got very lucky he lived through that!
One take way for me was his comment just before he was going to land was he thought about hitting the SOS on his Tracker.
This is a interesting thought, I may do this if faced with landing in the boondocks, in a bad area where the outcome is uncertain.
With the Garmin InReach you can cancel your SOS call, after a walk away landing, if you don't need it.

All sorts of reasons to send a SOS and few not too, if faced with a dicey landing in the back of nowhere.

[David Lessnick 51P]

Nick is correct on the first part - inadequate flight planning, multitasking in the cockpit (way too much communicating vs aviating and navigating), and leaving a safe outlanding option (dry lake bed) behind me while pushing ahead knowing I needed that “one last thermal” - and BELIEVING I WOULD FIND IT created a user made scenario where LUCK was the main ingredient (I got away with a broken knee and a few contusions) for the fact that I’m alive today.

As far as pressing the SOS on the PLB PRIOR to landing in “unlandable” terrain is something that did NOT cross my mind but something that I would CERTAINLY do and recommend to others for the simple fact that I could have easily lost consciousness during impact. In my opinion, the proper time to do so would be at approx 1k AGL . Any lower and I believe 99.9% of us will be (and rightly so) too intensely focused on the task of landing.

Have a great Memorial weekend everyone.

Thanks for sharing David!
