Take Control of Your Safety Margins...

It’s easy to take the magic of lift that our wings produce for granted. In normal flight, we barely need to think about it. However, when an unexpected airplane upset occurs, knowing how the various factors affecting lift interact, and what to do first, can make the difference between an effective recovery and catastrophe. This common-sense analysis of how your wing works reveals insights following a building block approach to highlight concepts and practical applications relevant to every flight.
