Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I)

In an ultra-safe industry, the loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) type of accidents may be rare but on average it accounts for one quarter of all fatalities in scheduled commercial air transport. This has made LOC-I one of ICAO’s top safety priorities, along with controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) and runway safety.

The Collaborative LOC-I Programme

Following on from ICAO’s Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) Symposium held in Montreal in May 2014, wide industry support for a global and coordinated approach to address LOC-I has resulted in the establishment of a collaborative LOC-I programme.

International associations and organisations are working with ICAO to:

develop content and support the delivery of regional LOC-I and Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) workshops;
identify and develop tools to support the prevention of LOC-I events; and
provide easy access to these tools on this website.

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) Workshops

Beginning in 2015, a series of two-day regional UPRT workshops will assist regulators, operators, pilot training organisations and pilots to identify and adopt effective LOC-I prevention strategies and to enhance the implementation of new Upset Prevention and Recovery Training provisions.

Workshop Overview:

Module 1. UPRT Provisions – What changes will they require?
Module 2. UPRT in FSTDs and in Aeroplanes
Module 3. Implementing UPRT in an Airline
Module 4. Planning regional implementation
Module 5: Effectiveness of UPRT in PReventing LOC-I Events
Demonstration of UPRT scenarios in an FSTD
