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.
