Other articles examine circumstances leading to emergencies such as night disorientation, neglecting to pay attention to details, or deferring to a more senior pilot.</p><p>Part II invites the reader to pull up a chair and be a part of some "hangar flying." Many of the subjects in Part II receive little or no coverage in the wider aviation media. How does a GA pilot cope with fear? Contend with ethical challenges?
