January 2022 Quiz: Not What You Planned

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • A pilot flying a Turbo Cessna 206 experiences critical engine issues (decreasing oil pressure and increasing oil temperature) during a flight from Boston to Montreal.
  • An emergency is declared, and the pilot diverts to Burlington, Vermont, requesting an RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 33 approach.
  • The diversion is complicated by severe weather conditions at Burlington, including strong crosswinds, low visibility, low ceilings, and snow, creating a high-stakes challenge for the pilot.

Working remotely has its perks. The commute is great, the view is pretty good, and the dining options are usually decent as well. But, being cooped up in the same place day after day can lead to stir craziness. So when the opportunity arose to take a work trip from your home in Boston to Montreal for a day of meetings, you jumped at the chance. Making the trip in your Turbo Cessna 206 seemed pretty attractive.

Departure and en-route weather had snow showers, but clear skies for your Montreal arrival. The cold weather blanketing the region made your Stationair climb well and you quickly broke out of the top before leveling off at 9000 feet. As the heater kept up with the extremely low outside air temperature, you settle back in your seat and soak in the view of a sea of white stretching beneath you.
