Did you know that? Since 2012, nearly half of fatal general aviation accidents in the New York/tri-state region have been caused by LOSS OF CONTROL (LOC) in flight. LOC involves an aircraft’s unintended departure from controlled flight due to a variety of reasons, such as pilot distraction or loss of situational awareness, or even weather. Unfortunately, the circumstances for these accidents are often repeated over time, and too many preventable crashes are occurring.
Prevent Loss of Control in Flight in General Aviation has been on the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) top 10 Most Wanted List of safety improvement areas for several years.
NTSB investigators will present local accident case studies occurring in New York and the surrounding area, and experts from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) will offer their own unique perspectives on this critical safety issue.
NTSB Board Member Earl Weener will deliver opening remarks. Member Weener took the oath of office as the 41st Member of the NTSB on June 30, 2010. He brings to the Board his experience as an industry executive, long-time safety advocate, flight instructor, pilot, boat captain and aerospace engineer.
You are invited to an exclusive safety workshop on to learn more about LOC, its causes, and how to avoid LOC in flight.
Featured Speakers:
NTSB Board Member Earl Weener
NTSB Eastern Region Deputy Chief Luke Schiada
