The NBAA Safety Committee has identified LOC-I as one of its top four safety issues for 2016, along with the single pilot accident rate, runway excursions and airport ground collisions.
“Loss of Control In-flight is a complex and pervasive threat to air safety that demands focused attention by our safety team. Over the past two years on the committee, Mr. Ransbury has unfailingly demonstrated his balanced, robust and comprehensive approaches to mitigating the LOC-I threat to our membership’s pilots” said Steven Charbonneau, the NBAA Safety Committee Chairman, “The NBAA Safety Committee has identified the NBAA’s Top Safety Focus Areas for 2016, to include LOC-I, through our data-driven annual risk assessment. They are grouped into three areas – Top Safety Issues, Safety Hazards, and Foundations for Safety. These focus areas are intended to help promote safety-enhancing discussions and initiatives within flight departments and among owner-flown operations.”
APS, Ransbury’s global network of specialized flight schools, specializes in effectively delivered upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) which mitigates the loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) threat to air safety through pilot education and practical skill development.

“It is a great honor and privilege to work alongside the the progressive, thoughtful, diverse and passionate members of the NBAA Safety Committee.” says Paul BJ Ransbury, president of Aviation Performance Solutions, “As the lead of the NBAA’s Loss of Control In-flight Working Group, our team’s goals are to establish valuable and effective resources for individual pilots and flight department safety managers to maximize their air safety and to ultimately overcome aviation’s leading fatal threat, Loss of Control In-flight.”
