125. Surviving the "Impossible Turn" at Night

What this episode covers

What would you do if you lost your engine in the dark, less than 500 feet off the ground? In Episode 125, Carl Valeri speaks with Shreya Verma, a commercial pilot and CFI with over 2,000 hours of flight time. Originally from Nepal, Shreya shares her journey into aviation and the most intense 40 seconds of her career. While conducting night takeoffs and landings with a student in DeLand, Florida, Shreya experienced a total engine failure at 450 feet. Against the odds, she successfully completed a 180-to-200-degree turn to land safely back on the runway. Tune in to hear her step-by-step breakdown of the emergency and the crucial lessons every pilot should apply to their own training.
