1. What is the leading cause Loss of control in flight (LOC-I)
of fatal general aviation
accidents?
2. What does LOC-I include? Any significant deviation of an aircraft from the intended flightpath.
3. What phase of flight is Maneuvering
most common for LOC-I
accidents in general avia-
tion?
4. What are some situations Uncoordinated flight, equipment malfunctions, pilot complacency,
that increase the risk of distraction, turbulence, and poor risk management.
