Mitigating top safety risks in the cockpit: Loss of Control In-Flight

With growing reliance on automation and increased pilot distractions, Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) is the #1 reason for accidents in business aviation. This reality was confirmed in a recent CAE Safety Insights featuring observations based on real pilot/peer insights with data findings provided by CAE Rise™, (Real-time Insights that Assist Standardized Evaluations).

Key Highlights:

• Top fatal accident threats are caused by meteorology, aircraft malfunction and poor visibility

   

• Top flight crew errors include SOP adherence, manual handling, and pilot-to-pilot communication

   

• Understanding aerodynamics is the cornerstone of prevention and recovery
