Newsroom
News about Aviation cases in California and nationwide:
Definition:
Vacuum pump failures are one of the most common squawks in general aviation aircraft. But pilots don't train enough for this possibility, and the training they get is often inadequate.
Tail Stall
Definition:
The horizontal stabilizer balances the tendency of the nose to pitch down by generating downward lift on the tail of the aircraft. When the tail stalls, this downward force is lessened or removed, and the nose of the airplane can severely pitch down.
Light
Definition:
The rate of accumulation may create a problem if flight is prolonged in this environment (over one hour).
