Tied Down
Noticed that AOPA has the recordings of this year's Archie Awards up.

A couple of these, you just shake your head... the pilots sound like they shouldn't have been signed off on a BFR due to their lack of understanding emergency procedures. Others are just in bad situations but keep their heads about them. I don't want to pick on them, but I like to listen to these every year, and think about how I would handle similar situations.
In all of them, the controllers do a great job. Thanks to all the controllers out there who are there when we need them.
