Abstract
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in conjunction with the general aviation (GA) industry formed the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) with the goal to improve overall general aviation safety.
- The GAJSC tasked their technical division, the Safety Analysis Team (SAT), with identifying safety issues present within GA. Upon review of fatal GA accidents between 2001 and 2010, it was concluded that over half of the fatal accidents were a result of loss of control inflight, or LOC-I.
- A Loss of Control Working Group (LOCWG) was formed between the FAA and the GA industry to research and recommend safety improvements. One of the recommended safety improvements offered is to consider the use of Angle of Attack Indicators in GA aircraft.
This project is being conducted by the Partnership to Enhance General Aviation Safety, Accessibility and Sustainability (PEGASAS), an FAA Center of Excellence.
