Key Takeaways:

  • Loss of control is identified as the number one cause of fatal general aviation airplane accidents, accounting for the majority of annual deaths in recreational flying.
  • Preventing loss of control requires pilots to deeply understand aerodynamics, especially regarding stalls and angle of attack, and to be aware of high-risk flight conditions.
  • The FAA offers a free online course as a valuable resource to guide pilots on how to avoid the most prevalent loss of control dangers.

It’s one thing to tell a pilot “Avoid loss of control!” of his or her airplane in flight, but providing additional tutelage on exactly how to prevent such a dangerous situation from developing in the first place is a completely different matter.
