Aviation News Talk Podcast

Max interviews listener Jim about a prop strike incident that occurred while landing his Cessna 182. The conversation covers Jim's flying background, the details of the incident, and the lessons learned. Jim, who began flying in 2012, purchased his Cessna 182 in 2022 and upgraded it with a Garmin G3X system. During a return flight from New Mexico, Jim experienced challenging weather but expected a routine landing. However, a sudden yaw and bank just before touchdown resulted in a prop strike. Using the Garmin G3X data and Flysto.net, Max and Jim analyzed the incident, identifying unstable flight conditions and incorrect control inputs that led to the strike. Jim discusses the repairs, additional training, and surprising insurance implications that followed. Despite the setback, Jim remains committed to improving his piloting skills and encourages others to share their experiences for the benefit of the aviation community.
