Getting “behind the airplane” is something no one wants to do. But when flight conditions change unexpectedly a pilot’s workload increases, sometimes to the point of being in danger. Today’s guest got into a such a situation when, in IMC, he was given vectors for an approach he didn’t have time to prepare for. FAA Master Pilot Award recipient Tim Delaney describes how he got behind the airplane on an instrument flight to Santa Rosa, California.
