ASRS Report Human Factors

After landing and while cleaning the airplane, the Aircraft Y pilot drove up to my hangar and berated me in front of my wife for “screaming into the traffic pattern at too high an airspeed and being only 400 feet below him and they were talking to center with a Bravo clearance (wrong, ZZZ Tracon owns the Class B around here so he would be talking to Approach, not Center) and even the SIC (Second in Command) Center Controller didn’t see you” and loads of other garbage.

Rusty student panics on landing

By NASA · June 6, 2024 ·

ASRS Report Human Factors

The student told me afterward that they panicked and took out the power because they thought of a video of a plane crashing into a hangar they had seen earlier. They thought that would happen if they left the power in.

By NASA · June 4, 2024 ·
