Maneuvering Flight
Topic:
Maneuvering Flight
Brief Description:
Over the past ten years approximately 65% of GA accidents have occurred during maneuvering flight. Maneuvering flight is defined as flight below 1000 feet AGL, flight involving steep turns and aerobatic flight. In this seminar we will discuss the aerodynamics of maneuvering flight and how to mitigate risk through an understanding of the aerodynamic and structural limitations of our aircraft. In addition we will discuss some techniques for minimizing risk during maneuvering flight.
