I received a couple questions about the STEC 3100 that inspired this video. I was asked my thoughts on if a nonpilot spouse could use it if the pilot becomes incapacitated and get the plane down safely. I wrote up a very simple check list to store in our glove box. I showed it to Jaime in flight and did one approach talking her through it. Then we went back out and she did it all 100% on her own and got us to the runway safely!

*This is just a video of us discussing and showing what WE have worked out as OUR gameplan. This is not a suggestion or training for other people. Each flying couple should discuss their own plan if and how they choose.
