Decreasing exposure to aerodynamic risk
This tutorial is a series of safety briefings that aim to encompass the flight dynamics associated with some common events that sometimes lead to destruction — thus extending your underpinning knowledge so that such disastrous outcomes are readily avoided, even if readily encountered. The series generally explores the flight envelope (flight loading limits and gust loading limits), plus angle of attack management and energy management. It does not cover other accident causal factors such as fuel system mismanagement, flight planning mismanagement, wire strikes or flight into non-day VFR conditions. Articles discussing those causal factors can be found at: 'Airmanship and safety: other online reading'.7 tutorials in this category
