“More general-aviation pilots and passengers die from accidents involving loss of control in flight than any other single factor. Our goal is for these experts to discuss solutions available to prevent loss of control and to identify the path forward in our continued joint effort to improve safety.” Source: NTSB Chairman Robert L. Sumwalt will moderate the participant-driven discussion on preventing in-flight loss of control in general aviation. The purpose of the event is to facilitate a discussion about possible solutions to prevent loss of control, which has played a role in more than 40 percent of all single-engine, fixed-wing general aviation fatal accidents.
