Fly Safe: Prevention of Loss of Control Accidents

FAA News & Updates

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. Fly Safe: Prevention of Loss of Control Accidents July 25- The FAA and general aviation (GA) group's #FlySafe national safety campaign aims to educate the GA community on best practices in calculating and predicting aircraft performance, and in operating within established aircraft limitations.   Transition Safely The lack of or poor transition training has been cited as a causal factor in many general aviation accidents. Pilots think they only need transition training when stepping up to a high-performance or complex airplane, from single-engine to multi-engine aircraft, or even from tricycle gear to tail wheel. But they can also benefit from transition training when moving from traditional aircraft to amateur-built or light-sport airplanes, as well as from steam gauges to a glass cockpit.   The goal of transition training is to make sure you have proper training in the specific systems and operating characteristics of every airplane model you fly. Transition training focuses on those areas where you might encounter something unique to the airplane – whether as a normal procedure or in an emergency.   How Do I Train? The quality of your training could save your life! Choose wisely, and as you do so, think "Structure," "Specifics," and "Quality."   Structure Transition training should be conducted in accordance with a written training syllabus, which is a checklist for training. Your syllabus should provide a logical, systematic and comprehensive approach to ensure you cover all the basics. You'll also want to review the applicable practical test standards (PTS) or Airman Certification Standards (ACS) that are appropriate to the certificate and/or rating that you hold.   Specifics The goal of transition training is to teach you what is different about the aircraft and the equipment onboard. The syllabus should address the basics of the aircraft's systems (fuel, electrical, control, hydraulic, avionics, environmental, etc.), but with the emphasis on how characteristics of the new aircraft differ from those you already know. Your training should cover normal, abnormal and emergency procedures. It should also cover performance characteristics – including what to expect on takeoff and landing, climb, cruise, descent and glide. Finally, it should address limitations, such as weight and balance, speed, wind limits and more.   Qualified Instructor To get the greatest benefit from your transition training, you need to hire an instructor who is current and qualified. He or she needs to thoroughly understand the airplane and equipment you want to master. Your instructor should follow a syllabus, and he or she should be able to shift the emphasis to fit your qualifications and goals, as well as the characteristics of your aircraft.   What is Loss of Control? A Loss of Control (LOC) accident involves an unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight. LOC can happen because the aircraft enters a flight regime that is outside its normal flight envelope and may quickly develop into a stall or spin. It can introduce an element of surprise for the pilot. Contributing factors may include: Poor judgment/aeronautical decision making, Failure to recognize an aerodynamic stall or spin and execute corrective action. Intentional failure to comply with regulations, Failure to maintain airspeed, Failure to follow procedure, Pilot inexperience and proficiency Use of prescription, over-the-counter, or illegal drugs or alcohol. Message from FAA Administrator Michael Huerta: The FAA and the aviation community are working together to prevent Loss of Control accidents and save lives. You can help make a difference by joining our Fly Safe campaign. Each month on FAA.gov, we're providing pilots with a Loss of Control solution developed by a team of experts. They have studied the data and developed solutions – some of which are already reducing risk. We hope you will join us in this effort and spread the word. Follow #FlySafe on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I know that we can reduce these accidents by working together as a community.   Did you know? Last year, 384 people died in 238 general aviation accidents. Loss of Control is the number one cause of these accidents. Loss of Control happens in all phases of flight. It can happen anywhere and at any time. There is one fatal accident involving LOC every four days. Learn more FAA Advisory Circular 90-109A, Transition to Unfamiliar Aircraft,  and the Airport Handbook (FAA-H08083-3A) Chapters 11 to 15, have the basic information you need to know.   "Shifting Gears–Tips for Tackling Transition Training" is on page 16 of the March/April issue of the FAA Safety Briefing. Whether you're transitioning to LSA or Experimental, this article has handy tips.   The FAASafety.gov website has Notices, FAAST Blasts, online courses, webinars and more on key general aviation safety topics.   AOPA, Transitioning to Other Aircraft, features helpful courses, quizzes and more.   The WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program helps pilots build an educational curriculum suitable for their unique flight requirements.  It is based on the premise that pilots who maintain currency and proficiency in the basics of flight will enjoy a safer and more stress-free flying experience.   Understand what makes every airplane tick by taking the online courses and safety quizzes offered by AOPA   The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) is comprised of government and industry experts who work together to use data to identify risk, pinpoint trends through root cause analysis, and develop safety strategies to reduce the risk of accidents in GA.   The GAJSC combines the expertise of many key decision makers across different parts of the FAA, several government agencies, and stakeholder groups. The other federal agencies are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board,  which participates as an observer. Industry participants include the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Experimental Aircraft Association, General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association, National Business Aviation Association, National Air Transportation Association, National Association of Flight Instructors, Society of Aviation and Flight Educators, and the aviation insurance industry. The European Aviation Safety Agency also participates as an observer.   An FAA fact sheet outlines GA safety improvements and initiatives. Please do not reply to this message.

Democratic Convention is a No Drone Zone

July 21 – Philadelphia and the surrounding area are off-limits to drones and model aircraft from July 25 through July 29.

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. Democratic Convention is a No Drone Zone Like its Republican counterpart in Cleveland, next week's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia is a "No Drone Zone."     Philadelphia and its surrounding communities are off limits to drones under flight restrictions the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has put in place from 2 p.m. on July 25 through 5 a.m. on July 29. The restricted area is a circle of airspace 30 nautical miles in radius around the Wells Fargo Center in downtown Philadelphia.   Flying a drone anywhere in the restricted area during the Democratic Convention is against the law. Violating the airspace may result in criminal or civil charges. The restriction applies to all unmanned aircraft, including radio-controlled model aircraft.   The FAA has posted a No Drone Zone video for the convention at: https://youtu.be/QT76JBKmPCE   In addition to the drone restrictions, airspace restrictions also will be in place for traditional manned aircraft during the convention within the 30 nautical mile radius ring and within two even more restricted rings of airspace within a three-mile radius and a 10-mile radius of the convention venue.   Gateway airport procedures will be in effect for general aviation aircraft flying into and out of Philadelphia International Airport. The gateway airports are Harrisburg International Airport, PA, and Westchester County Airport, NY. TSA will provide daily screening during limited hours while the restrictions are in place.   The FAA recommends that all non-regularly-scheduled air carriers and air cargo operators check with the airport or fixed-based operators for parking reservations because of the heavy volume of expected flights and limited parking. Pilots can view the temporary flight restrictions at: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_6_3975.html   ### Please do not reply to this message. See our Contact FAA page for contact information.

FAA Improves Runway Conditions Reporting

July 19 – FAA and industry develop new tools and procedures to prevent runway overruns.

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. FAA Improves Runway Conditions Reporting The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other members of the aviation community have developed new standards to improve safety at U.S. airports during inclement weather. On October 1, 2016, U.S. airports, airline flight crews, dispatchers, general aviation pilots, and air traffic controllers will begin using new Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) standards to reduce the risk of runway overrun accidents and incidents due to runway contamination caused by weather and other factors.                                                                                                    The FAA developed the standards based on the work of the Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC), which was formed after the December 2005 overrun accident at Chicago Midway Airport.  In that accident, Southwest Flight 1248 ran off the end of the runway and into a city street after landing during a snowstorm.   As a result of the committee's work, the FAA has developed a new method for airports and air traffic controllers to communicate actual runway conditions to the pilots in terms that directly relate to the way a particular aircraft is expected to perform. TALPA improves the way the aviation community assesses runway conditions, based on contaminant type and depth, which provides an aircraft operator with the effective information to anticipate airplane braking performance.   Airport operators will use the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM) to categorize runway conditions and pilots will use it to interpret reported runway conditions. The RCAM is presented in a standardized format, based on airplane performance data supplied by airplane manufacturers, for each of the stated contaminant types and depths. The RCAM replaces subjective judgments of runway conditions with objective assessments tied directly to contaminant type and depth categories.   For example, using today's assessment process, a runway that is covered with two inches of dry snow would be reported as "FICON 2IN DRY SN OBSERVED AT 1601010139. 1601010151-1601020145" along with Mu values as "TAP MU 29/27/29 OBSERVED AT 1601010139. 1601010151-1601020145.   A Mu number describes a braking co-efficient of friction.   Starting October 1, 2016, the same NOTAM with contaminants would be reported using Runway Conditions Codes as follows:   DEN RWY 17R FICON (5/5/3) 25 PRCT 1/8 IN DRY SN, 25 PRCT 1/8 IN DRY SN, 50 PRCT 2 IN DRY SN OBSERVED AT 1601010139. 1601010151-1601020145   The pilot or dispatcher would then consult the aircraft manufacturer data to determine what kind of stopping performance to expect from the specific airplane they are operating.   The airport operator will assess surfaces, report contaminants present, and determine the numerical Runway Condition Codes (RwyCC) based on the RCAM. The RwyCCs may vary for each third of the runway if different contaminants are present. However, the same RwyCC may be applied when a uniform coverage of contaminants exists. RwyCCs will replace Mu numbers, which will no longer be published in the FAA's Notice to Airman (NOTAM) system.   Pilot braking action reports will continue to be used to assess braking performance. Beginning October 1, the terminology "Fair" will be replaced by "Medium." It will no longer be acceptable for an airport to report a NIL braking action condition. NIL conditions on any surface require the closure of that surface. These surfaces will not be opened until the airport operator is satisfied that the NIL braking condition no longer exists.   Airports will start reporting runway conditions using the RCAM on October 1. The FAA is advising operators to develop procedures for pilots and dispatchers that address the changes to runway condition reporting procedures. ### Please do not reply to this message.
