Preventing loss of control accidents, including a discussion of 'The Impossible Turn' after an engine failure on departure.
Date and Time:
Saturday, June 3, 2017, starting at 11:00 Arizona Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Tina Buskirk-FAA Safety Team Program Manager
Brief Description:

Loss of aircraft control continues to be a leading concern of the NTSB and the FAA. We will discuss the leading causes of loss of control using accidents, with an emphasis on the takeoff and landing phases. Included in the presentation is a discussion on the "The impossible Turn", the too-often fatal urge for pilots to turn back to their departure airport should they experience a power or performance loss on the departure leg. The presentation will include several audio and video segments of accident sequences. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and participate in the discussion.

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

The FAASTeam expresses its gratitude to EAA Chapter 586 and the Show Low Airport Authority for hosting this seminar.

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.  Come learn about this Airport and give your input to the Team so they can work on improving the airport for all who fly there. 

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.
