“What survival or emergency gear do you always carry, regardless of flight length or weather, and why those specific items?”
Welcome to the Lightspeed Aviation “Ask Me Anything” Pilot Safety Series – where we ask real pilots and instructors to give us their personal insights into safety in the cockpit. Each month, we will bring you a new video of real pilots giving real answers to tough questions about safety and survival.
This month we asked four pilots to tell us what survival or emergency gear they make sure to always carry with them, no matter what the circumstances. Watch the video above to see their answers, and check back every month to see the next question in our series!
Check out the pilots featured in this video:

- Jeff Simon – follow at SocialFlight
- Carl Hancock follow at Fly With The Guys
