Brief Description:

Loss of Control remains one of the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee' s and the National Transportation Safety Board's areas of special emphasis.  this 1-1/2 seminar will look at numerous accidents that have occurred within Arizona when the pilot failed to maintain control of the aircraft in the traffic pattern when faced with a critical situation or made a poor aeronautical decision leading to a situation they were not prepared for.  We will also look at the " Impossible Turn'" the situation a pilot faces when experiencing engine failure immediately after departure and why the turn back to the runway is rarely successful

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

The FAA Safety Team wants to extend a thank you to Alex Mirablie for sponsoring this event for the ATP students and staff.  Loss of Control continue to be one of the major causes or fatal accidents.

Runway incursions are a major factor in aviation safety.  While many things have been done to reduce the accident rate in General Aviation and the Air Carrier Industry, both sides of the aviation house are still experiencing far too many runway incursions.  This could be the result of "Read back - Hear back" issues, poor airport signage, pilot inattention/knowledge or a combination of factors.  Runway safety is a major concern for all pilots and if you have been around aviation for a long period of time you have probably seen some close calls on the runways and taxiways, or even been involved in some yourself. 

Pilot airspace deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system.  To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course  such as ALC 42, ALC 154, and ALC90 on www.faasafety.gov, or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions.  Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness and have a plan to keep it that way.

Thanks!  A message from your local FAASTeam.
