The Problem of Loss of Control in Flight
Loss of control in flight is a primary factor contributing to aviation accidents, regardless of aircraft type. This phenomenon occurs when the pilot is unable to correctly operate the aircraft due to spatial disorientation, leading to improper control inputs. The result is that the aircraft may exit its safe operational boundaries, often resulting in fatal incidents. Over the last decade, this has led to over 12,000 accidents and thousands of lost lives in the general aviation sector.
