Loss of Control


I went to an amazing FAA Safety Seminar today out at Islip MacArthur Airport.  It was by this pilot, David Windmiller, an acrobatic pilot and instructor, speaking about accidents involving Loss of Control while flying an airplane.  I will tell you this - if you are in a small aircraft (or in an airliner!) and it is in this position in the sky while flying, you are in a really bad place!  So David's talk was how to recognize the signs of an incipient stall, and how to recover and return to normal flight.  An absolutely brilliant presentation that included a lot of information about aerodynamics as well.
