CAP1972: Loss of Control: Angle of Attack

We would like to hear from you

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

Airspeed and angle of attack is a topic often debated, sometimes hotly, around airfields and some positions go like this: “If you have good airspeed you’ll be fine” — not necessarily.

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