General Aviation Safety Campaign on Loss of Control

We would like to hear from you

The CAA is committed to improving how we deliver services, please help us by completing a short survey about your experiences today

In the five years from 2018 to 2023 ‘loss of control in flight’ accidents and serious incidents accounted for 10% of all General Aviation (GA) accidents and serious incidents, 40% of all fatal and 18% of all serious injury accidents.

This guidance is part of the our Stay in Control safety campaign to raise awareness of loss of control issues and some of the ways to avoid an incident.
