RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Sport Cruiser became entangled in trolley wire over San Diego on Wednesday

Another reason to re-visit the admonishment your instructor DRILLED into your mind.

 

AVIATE, NAVIGATE, COMMUNICATE

 

Don’t forget to keep flying the airplane when trying to deal with an inflight incident, such as a door opening or a canopy not closed.  Since the canopy on a Sport Cruiser is forward hinged, there should be no problem with continuing safe flight and making a routine landing, close the latch and go fly some more.

 

I will attest, however, that a door popping loose is quite a distraction as I’m sure a loose canopy would be too.

The single-engine Sport Cruiser was circling back to Gillespie Field for an emergency landing after the pilot noticed a problem with the plane's canopy.
