Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes
general 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 ... analysis of these accidents will often reveal inadequate risk management as a common thread. To begin with, pilots should recognize hazards linked to causes of aircraft accidents as presented below: 11806 1. Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I)–Examples…

Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Failure to Anticipate, Act, & Verify
Failure to Anticipate, Act, & Verify Automation offers increased safety with enhanced situational awareness. However, these systems make it possible for a pilot to become complacent, unprepared, or lose situational awareness. If this occurs and an unexpected change in flight plan ... crew was unexpectedly cleared for an approach, lost situational awareness, and crashed into mountainous terrain. The accident summary cites failure of the flight crew to revert to basic radio navigation at the time when the FMS-assisted navigation became confusing…

purposes only and is not for specific models of engines. The following are the four types of engines: • Reciprocating powerplant • Turbine, propeller combination (turboprop) • Turbine engine incorporating a fan (turbofan) • Turbojet (pure jet) By plotting the performance curve for each ... means of comparison, numerical values for net thrust, aircraft speed, and drag are not included. Comparison of the four powerplants on the basis of net thrust makes certain performance capabilities evident. In the speed range shown to the left…
