This week on SimpleFlight Radio! How often do you practice manuevers that you might often need? If you're like most general aviation pilots, your answer will probably be, "rarely".  Whether it's an engine out, runway trim, loss of automation, or the need for a go around, being ready for these incidents is more than just theory.  This week's discussion also included examples that impacts the non-pilot in the aviation community.  For example, how often does ATC practice commanding airliners to "go around" or to "abort a takeoff"?  After listening to the ATC tape of the aborted take off of a British Airways 777 (engine fire) in Las Vegas, you'd guess that they practice it all the time (take a listen)!
