  Because an aircraft tends to lose altitude in turns unless the pilot compensates for the loss in lift, the pilot may notice a loss of altitude. The absence of any sensation of turning creates the illusion of being ... descent. This action tightens the spiral and increases the loss of altitude; this illusion is referred to as a “graveyard spiral.” [Figure 17-5] This may lead to a loss of aircraft control. Figure 17-4. Human sensation of angular…

  tires are hydroplaning, directional control and braking action are virtually impossible. An effective anti-skid system can minimize the effects of hydroplaning. Hypemic hypoxia. A type of hypoxia that is a result of oxygen deficiency in the blood, rather than ... although the carbon dioxide level in the blood is already at a reduced level. The result is an excessive loss of carbon dioxide from the body, which can lead to unconsciousness due to the respiratory system’s overriding mechanism…

  focused on the open door rather than maintaining control of the airplane, loss of control may result even though disruption of airflow by the door is minimal. In the event of an inadvertent door opening in flight or on takeoff ... that opens in flight seldom if ever compromises the airplane’s ability to fly. There may be some handling effects, such as roll and/or yaw, but in most instances these can be easily overcome…

  adjustments of pitch and power and support a stabilized approach. While normal, soft-field, or short-field landings require minimal speed at touchdown, a short-field obstacle approach requires minimum speed and a steep approach angle. Flap extension, particularly beyond ... landing flare becomes critical. A reduction in power too early can result in a hard landing, airplane damage, or loss of control. A reduction in power too late causes the airplane to float down the runway. Crosswind component is another…
