Title:
Prevent Loss of Control Accidents
Topic:
An LOC accident involves an unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight.
Speaker(s):
Terry Connorton \ James “Lanny” Cline
Brief Description:
- Have a better understanding of the aerodynamic stall and its relationship to load factors.
- Realize the importance of preflight preparation including preflight planning, the preflight inspection, and the proper use of checklists.
- Have a better understanding of how certain aspects of maneuvering flight increase risk factors for loss-of-control.
- Have improved realization of some ways in which pilots encounter VFR into IMC situations, how to avoid these situations, and that instrument rated pilots are not immune from this problem.
- Have increased awareness of how some weather phenomena can lead to loss of control even when operating in VFR conditions.
- Have greater awareness of how flight-related and non-flight-related distractions can increase risk factors for loss-of-control.
- Have renewed awareness of the importance of maintaining pilot proficiency.

Did you know?
- In 2016, 413 people died in 219 general aviation accidents.
- Loss of Control was the number one cause of these accidents.
- Loss of Control happens in all phases of flight. It can happen anywhere and at any time.
- There is one fatal accident involving Loss of Control every four days.
