NTSB vice chairman Bruce Landsberg led a wide-ranging discussion that touched on a variety of topics including the dangers of pilots transporting marijuana-laced brownies and the ineffectiveness of Notams during a 45-minute-long presentation Wednesday at the Wichita Aero Club’s December luncheon. One topic that was of personal interest to Landsberg was a need to give greater attention to retrieving and analyzing data from reciprocating engines to prevent in-flight engine failures.
