Instrument approaches rarely fail because of a lack of knowledge—they fail because of decisions made under pressure.
In this PilotWorkshops IFR Mastery webinar video, the PilotWorkshops team will walk pilots through a realistic, thought-provoking scenario from the IFR Mastery series. You’ll be placed in the cockpit of a Beechcraft Bonanza and faced with a critical decision: how to enter and execute an instrument approach into Wichita Falls, Texas, with low ceilings and strong winds complicating the picture.
Rather than presenting a single “right” answer, this session dives into the pros and cons of multiple possible outcomes, highlighting how experienced pilots think through risk, workload, and real-world constraints when the margin for error is slim.
Expert Roundtable Discussion
The scenario will be unpacked in a lively roundtable featuring:
-
Ryan Koch – Pilot Workshops
-
Catherine Cavagnaro – CFI & DPE
-
Kevin Plante – ATC Controller & Pilot
-
Bruce Williams – CFI & IFR Expert
-
Mark Kolber – CFI & Aviation Attorney
Each brings a unique perspective—from the cockpit, the control room, the examiner’s seat, and even the legal aftermath of poor decisions.
