‘I Learned About Flying From That’ Podcast: Surviving an Unforecasted Wind Shear

FLYING is counting down to its 100th ILAFFT podcast episode. This week we revisit listener favorite No. 6: “Fast-Moving Front.”

In "Episode 47: Fast-Moving Front," which aired November 15, 2022, U.S. Air Force Captain Aimee Fiedler describes what happened when she took a student up for a training mission and got caught by rapidly changing weather upon landing back at Annapolis, Maryland. [Credit: Adobe Stock]

Key Takeaways:

Nearly nine decades ago, FLYING launched its “I Learned About Flying From That” column— known as ILAFFT—to provide GA pilots firsthand accounts of harrowing aviation experiences. Sharing the lesson learned helps other pilots avoid the same fate and become better, safer pilots in the process.  

In recent years, the ILAFFT journey evolved to include a podcast adding an extra dimension to the experience through exclusive interviews with pilots sharing their stories.
