Distractions

Description

A distraction is an unexpected event that causes the student’s attention to be momentarily diverted. Students must learn to decide whether or not a distraction warrants further attention or action on their part. Once this has been decided, the students must either turn their attention back to what they were doing, or act on the distraction.


Here is a gear up landing filmed from the rear seat of a single engine airplane. It is unknown what the pilots were so distracted with and did not hear the gear warning horn.
