Lt. Thompson and Brandon, with

took off from Ketzebue in a CA~L-20A search aircraft to attempt
to locate the downed men. As no

beyond Kotzebue, extra fuel in

This isn't an article about
weather, although weather was involved in each example. Neither is
it about mountains per se, although
mountains were involved in each
case. And, it's really not about
pilot technique, although you can
:race at least part of the cause to
Lhis factor.
This is really a kind of reminder
--a shot in the arm, so to speak-to those who must operate down
where the jet streams seldom roam.
Every pilot knows that if he tangles
with a mountainside he can't help
but lose. He also knows how those
knobs can hide in clouds. And
he should know the performance
of his aircraft--ability to climb,
and turn radius--so that he won't
ﬁnd himself trapped in a canyon.
To g o a l i t t l e f u r t h e r, h e s h o u l d
also know better than to get into a
blind canyon. This requires judgment, and you can't beat that as an
accident preventer.
NAVAIDS, aircraft performance
and pilot proﬁciency are such today that we should not be losing
aircraft to causes mentioned above.
That we still do is an indication
that this other asset, Judgment, is
sometimes missing. Add judgment
and we have an almost unbeatable
combination that should prevent
such reports as this: "while turning to the left the aircraft struck
the mountainside 148 feet from the
summit. The resulting ﬁre destroyed evidence that might have led
to the exact cause of the accident."
