What comes to mind when you think of positive aircraft control? Maintaining situational awareness during descent and approach at night or in areas of mountainous terrain? Is precise maneuvering during an instrument approach and circle to land maneuver especially applicable? Have you considered the significance of the takeoff and landing phases of flight during beautiful clear VMC conditions? Maybe you include the unique situations of the training environment, including distractions and positive exchange of flight controls?
In this course, you’ll examine positive aircraft control during various phases of flight through a range of environmental conditions. Through a series of accidents and events, you’ll discover common traps and scenarios where pilots failed to maintain positive aircraft control. Through careful consideration of the events leading to the loss of control, your awareness of potentially harmful situations will increase. Finally, you'll examine ways you can prevent or respond to these situations.
