Title:
Prevent Loss of Control Accidents
Topic:
An LOC accident involves an unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight.
Date and Time:
Friday, December 8, 2017, starting at 12:00 Eastern Standard Time Download Calendar File
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.

Loss of Control

Contributing factors may include:

  • Poor judgment or aeronautical decision making
  • Failure to recognize an aerodynamic stall or spin and execute corrective action
  • Intentional failure to comply with regulations
  • Failure to maintain airspeed
  • Failure to follow procedure
  • Pilot inexperience and proficiency
  • Use of prohibited or over-the-counter drugs, illegal drugs, or alcohol

 

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.
