CENTRAL REGION 9
RVP Kevin Peterson:
Jeffrey and Andrew both did an outstanding job working
N687HR. Andrew was key in assisting Jeffrey, and Jeffrey's
quick action and calm voice helped this potentially dangerous
situation have a positive outcome. They both displayed
professionalism and great decision-making skills when helping
the pilot. I am extremely proud to call them my brothers.
After the first missed approach, Volski identified the aircraft on radar and provided navigational assistance
and headings for the RNAV Runway 35 approach. Volski gave as much information as possible to the pilot
to assist with handling the aircraft that was still experiencing icing. Volski was also responsible for working
other aircraft in an especially busy sector during this incident. The pilot had difficulty holding altitude
during the approach, but was able to land the aircraft safely.
Volski: Track looks good now. You look like you're just about lined up for the runway now.
Volski: 7HR radar contact lost. You're just about two more miles from the airport and you look to be lined up
perfectly with the runway.
N687HR: Roger 7HR.
Volski and Cullen did an outstanding job providing assistance and reassurance to the pilot through two
approach attempts. Volski calmly issued navigational assistance and instruction throughout, ensuring a
positive outcome to a challenging flight situation.
