FAA Fast Team Notice - 4/27/2016

FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education

FAA Safety Briefing Departments
Notice Number: NOTC6502



The March/April 2016 issue of FAA Safety Briefing focuses on the #FlySafe campaign and combating loss of control (LOC) accidents. Articles in this issue will help pilots better identify loss of control warning signs, as well as fine tune mitigation strategies and recovery techniques that can improve flight safety in these situations.



In this issue’s Jumpseat department (p. 1), Flight Standards Service’s Director John Duncan reviews the what, why, and how of loss-of-control events, while Checklist (p 21) highlights some important FAA resources that can help you expand your knowledge on “staying in control.” Federal Air Surgeon Dr. James Fraser examines how incapacitation, both sudden and subtle, can lead to LOC in Aeromedical Advisory (p.6).



Nuts, Bolts, and Electrons (p.28) focuses on how you can learn more about your aircraft (and possibly save a few bucks) through owner assisted inspections. Angle of Attack (p 29) focuses on the NTSB’s 2016 most wanted list of safety improvements.
