Don't Lose Control!

Avoiding Loss of Control Accidents

Monday, May 14, 2012, starting at 18:00 Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
John Wood
Brief Description:
Since the invention of the airplane, pilots have been plagued by loss of control and spin accidents.  What causes a pilot to lose control?  What causes an airplane to spin?  How can a pilot recognize and avoid situations that could lead to an accident of this type?  Loss of control accidents are not just limited to airborne aircraft;  many pilots lose control of the airplane on the ground during the takeoff or landing roll! Join FAASTeam Program Manager John Wood for a discussion that could save your life.

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

Sponsored by Daniel Webster College. Special thanks to Jonathan Prohaska.

Stall/spin accidents tend to be more deadly than other types of GA accidents, accounting for about 10 percent of all accidents, but 13.7 percent of fatal accidents. Overall, around 20 percent of all GA accidents result in fatalities, but stall/spin accidents have a fatality rate of about 28 percent. Be aware and avoid becoming a statistic of a "Loss of Control" accident. In this meeting we will discuss the dangers of this flight condition and provide you with the tools, skills and knowledge to operate safely and avoid the accident.
