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.
Avoiding Loss of Control
Key Takeaways:
- Loss of control (LOC) is the leading cause of fatal general aviation accidents, according to the FAA and NTSB, accounting for the majority of annual pilot deaths.
- Preventing LOC requires a thorough understanding of aerodynamics, including stalls and angle of attack, and recognizing high-risk flight conditions.
- The FAA offers a free online course that provides essential guidance to help pilots understand and avoid common loss of control dangers, serving as a critical step in accident prevention.
