The fifth and final episode of the Companion Copilot series explains what to do in case of an emergency, such as an engine or other system failure. Emergency discusses how to fly the plane and help your pilot using the emergency checklist.
The Companion Copilot video series provides frequent companion passengers—who are not pilots—an opportunity to learn more about how they can help their pilot and enjoy being an active participant in the flight.
Additional Resources:
Pilots and companion copilots can review ASI’s Critical Information: The Passenger Safety Briefing video. It covers often-overlooked items that should be part of every preflight passenger briefing.
