Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Ground School
by Tom Rogers CFII
This will be a presentation regarding common causes of LOC, “How to Avoid, Recognize, and Recover from Upsets”, followed by Q&A.
From 1949 to 2001 stall and spin accidents decreased year after year. Since 2001 the number of spin accidents has plateaued at a point where we have nearly one each week in the U.S.
Since practicing upsets, spins, and recoveries can be difficult, Tom will present a “ground school” aimed at first explaining LOC, upsets, and unusual attitudes differences. Then a short course on aerodynamics of stalls and spins. Tom will explain the new FAA emphasis item Avoid-Recognize-Recover. Finally, he will wrap up the presentation by giving simple steps that are easy to remember.
