 Loss of control inflight
(LOC-I)

Speaker 

Paul BJ Ransbury 

President & CEO, Aviation Performance Solutions (APS)

 Loss of control inflight (LOC‐I) refers to accidents in which flight crews are unable to maintain control of an aircraft in flight, resulting in an unrecoverable deviation from the intended flight path. Between 2001 and 2011, over 40 percent of fixed wing GA fatal accidents occurred because pilots lost control of their airplanes.

The lethality of LOC‐I, coupled with an overriding sense that its occurrence can be reduced through improved prevention, recognition and recovery skills, make this a targeted issue for safety improvement by the NBAA Safety Committee. On this page  you will find resources, videos and training opportunities that can assist with recognizing and mitigating risks that can lead to aircraft upsets.

Clean Fuel 

1:00 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.

Clean Fuel ‐ It is of critical importance that the fuel taken onboard at uplift is not contaminated in any way since the effects of any such contamination are likely to affect all engines and this may not be evident until after an aircraft has become airborne. We will review the checks and balances from the ground, storage tank, fuel trucks and then right into your aircraft. Who is responsible to check when and where?

FAA Compliance Philosophy

1:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Presented by

Dennis H. Whitley

FAA Compliance Philosophy

“Compliance Philosophy is the latest step in the evolution of how we work with those we regulate.

It focuses on the most fundamental goal: find problems in the National Airspace System before they result in an incident or accident, use the most appropriate tools to fix those problems, and monitor the situation to ensure that they stay fixed.” 

Compliance Philosophy Purpose

• To Promote the highest level of Safety & Compliance.
• Use the Most Effective Means for a person to return to full compliance.
• To Promote an Open, Problem-Solving Approach to allow safety problems to be understood through the proactive exchange of information.
• Allows for the use of a less stringent means - Compliance Actions, to gain compliance when the person is Willing & Able to take corrective action.
• Identifies Intentional or Reckless Behavior as the highest risk to safe operations and will require enforcement.

 In a nutshell, the Compliance Philosophy’s goal is to identify safety problems and ‘FIX” them with the most effective and efficient means possible so they do not reoccur.
