Upset recovery

All aircraft are designed to remain stable in flight. The balance of forces produced during flight provides a safety factor that must be monitored and maintained. It is therefore the crew's responsibility to maintain and monitor stability, supported by all the technological and aerodynamic benefits available.

It is also well known that loss of control in flight is one of the causes of aviation accidents with the highest fatality rate. Throughout this book, we will see that, although it is not the most frequent cause, it is one of the most critical in terms of its consequences. This trend has been evaluated worldwide, and various aviation authorities, manufacturers, and entities have contributed to training programs on stall recovery and abnormal maneuvers.

In this new book, you will find an analysis of flight mechanics and aerodynamics, illustrated with practical exercises and analyses of real accidents where deficiencies in maintaining control of the aircraft in flight occurred.
