- CHAPTER 2. REDUCING GENERAL AVIATION ACCIDENTS › 2.1 General Aviation (GA) Accidents › 2.1.1 Loss of Control (LOC)
Loss of Control (LOC). The GAJSC cites LOC as one of the six most critical and common causes of GA accidents. Further, LOC was the number one cause of GA fatalities from 2012 through 2021. LOC refers to aircraft accidents ... that result from situations in which a pilot should have maintained (or should have regained) aircraft control but failed to do so. In some cases, training accidents occurred because the pilots were not in agreement as to who should…

- Chapter 2: Aerodynamics, Aircraft Assembly, & Rigging › Control Systems for Large Aircraft › Mechanical Control
Control Systems for Large Aircraft Mechanical Control This is the basic type of system that was used to control early aircraft and is currently used in smaller aircraft where aerodynamic forces are not excessive. The controls are mechanical and manually ... operated. The mechanical system of controlling an aircraft can include cables, push-pull tubes, and torque tubes. The cable system is the most widely used because deflections of the structure to which it is attached do not affect its operation…
