Title:
Avoiding Loss of Control / A Pilot-centric Approach
Topic:
Events Leading to LOC-I Accidents, and the Importance of Pushing your Learning to the Correlation Level
Brief Description:
Inflight loss of control (LOC-I) remains the top occurrence category of fatal accidents in general aviation. Number two on the list isn’t even close. As a result, LOC-I remains a special emphasis area for the FAA. Rich discusses where and when LOC-I is most likely to occur, the typical chain of events that lead to these accidents, and the importance of pushing your learning to the correlation level.
