Given that Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) accounts for over 40% of fatal general aviation accidents and is the leading cause of fatalities in the civilian aviation sector, the NBAA focuses continued efforts on reducing the risk of LOC-I to it's membership. In particular, the 2015 NBAA Single Pilot Safety Standdown centered around an important industry video titled "Alone in the Cockpit," with presentations by leading industry experts on understanding Loss of Control In-flight as well as strategies to mitigate the risk. A 90-minute training session is now available to help pilots and flight crews benefit from the valuable lessons learned in the Safety Standdown.
The E-presentation consists of 8 videos in which Paul "BJ" Ransbury, lead of the NBAA LOC-I working group and president of APS, delves into the ideas presented in the award-nominated "Alone in the Cockpit" video product as well as key points--where relevant--from the Single Pilot Safety Standdown presentations at NBAA 2015 (below).
Listed below are the presentations surrounding the risk of LOC-I and strategies to mitigate that risk during NBAA 2015.
