Loss Of Control (aeronautics)
In aeronautics, loss of control (LOC) is the unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight and is a significant factor in several Aviation accidents and incidents, aviation accidents worldwide. In 2015 it was the leading cause of general aviation accidents. Loss of control may be the result of mechanical failure, external disturbances, aircraft upset conditions, or inappropriate crew actions or responses. Causes Loss of control causes aircraft to depart from normal flight and possibly reach altitudes or encounter situations from which it can be difficult or impossible to recover, such as a Stall (fluid dynamics), stall or a Spin (aerodynamics), spin. Due to the certification and design processes, it is extremely rare for aircraft to experience a loss of control without extreme mishandling or a technical defect. A NASA study focused on identifying causal factors and addressing mitigation challenges related to aircraft loss of control had developed a preliminary list o ...
