  Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes

  aviation fatal accidents include loss of control in-flight (LOC-I), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), system component failure of the powerplant (SCF-PP), and fuel-related issues. These causes often signify the final result of a chain of events ... chart, flight at high density altitude, flight in mountainous terrain, or intentionally flying too low. 11808 3.

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights › Common Errors

  should be tangent to both circular patterns. Common Errors Common errors in the performance of elementary eights are: 1. Failure to adequately clear the surrounding area for safety hazards, initially and throughout the maneuver. 2. Poor selection of ground references ... Failure to establish a constant, level altitude prior to entering the maneuver. 4. Failure to maintain adequate altitude control during the maneuver. 5. Failure to properly assess wind direction. 6. Failure to properly execute constant-radius turns. 7. Failure…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Failure During Flight

  Engine Failure During Flight Engine failures well above the ground are handled differently than those occurring at lower speeds and altitudes. Cruise airspeed allows better airplane control and altitude, which may permit time for a possible diagnosis and remedy ... failure. Maintaining airplane control, however, is still paramount. Airplanes have been lost at altitude due to apparent fixation on the engine problem to the detriment of flying the airplane. Not all engine failures or malfunctions are catastrophic in nature (catastrophic…
