Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
More than one-quarter (26.6 percent) of all fatal accidents in the last 10 years occurred during maneuvering flight, which includes buzzing, formation flying, aerial work, stalls/spins, canyon flying, aerobatics, and normal flight operation. Basically, any type of flying performed close to the ground – the traffic pattern, for example – or involving steep turns and aerobatics is considered maneuvering.
Any discussion of maneuvering involves airmanship. This may be defined as the physical handling of the aircraft and the ability to put the machine just where you want it. Pilots lacking in airmanship, either because they are rusty or never learned, cause many accidents that can be avoided with appropriate training. Recurrent training is the foundation for safe aviation operations!
Sponsored by the Flight Time Flying Club and Ocean Point Aviation.
