MAINTAINING AIRCRAFT CONTROL Randy Brooks, Jeff Edwards, Janeen Kochan, Paul Ransbury, Rich Stowell June 20, 2012 Introduction Becoming a safe, competent pilot requires proficiency in myriad physical and mental abilities. Regardless of a pilot’s certification level, constant practice and refinement are needed to maintain those hard earned skills. Yet despite the overall effectiveness of the system of pilot training and certification in the United States, Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) remains a significant cause of accidents and incidents in general as well as commercial aviation. This paper offers strategies to reduce loss of control accidents through improved education and targeted training, and provides information pilots can use to mitigate the risks associated with common LOC-I events. Terminology Regardless of the type of airplane flown or whether operating under 14 CFR Part 91, 121, or 135, all pilots are encouraged to adopt standardized terminology when discussing loss of control. The following are a few of the key terms: • Airplane Upset refers to a departure from the intended flight profile that may or may not involve stalled flight, and that typically involves an excessive angle of bank, an excessive angle of pitch, or both, but that does not involve spinning. As a point of reference, the Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid developed for air carrier operations defines an airplane upset as an airplane “unintentionally exceeding the parameters normally expe
