Recovery isn’t complicated

Recovery is hard, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. “If sobriety were easy, everybody who wanted to be sober would be.

For Ron, flying this leg of the flight, it had been a long day, and this go-around maneuver is difficult, even in good weather with both pilots doing their jobs.
