Training/Safety

September 10, 2008, KLKP (Lake Placid, NY): Imagine yourself in a Cessna 310 on approach to Lake Placid at night (it could be any aircraft). You have keyed up the lights and are following a stabilized descent path to the runway on a beautiful clear night with no wind...you end up trashing the plane. Fortunately, you and your passenger walk away, but what caused this amazing wreckage? Check out the details!
