Aircraft spin and recovery

What is a SPIN?

A spin is a yaw aggravated stall which results in rotation about the spin axis. The aircraft follows a steep, “corkscrew” like, downward path. Spins can be entered, either intentionally or unintentionally, from any flight attitude and at practically any airspeed

How Planes Fly

Airplanes fly when the movement of air across their wings creates an upward force on the wings (and thus the rest of the plane) that is greater than the force of gravity pulling the plane toward the earth. The physics behind this phenomenon was first described by Daniel Bernoulli, an 18th century Swiss mathematician and scientist who studied the movement of fluids. Bernoulli discovered that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is inversely proportional to the speed of the fluid. In other words, fluid pressure decreases as fluid speed increases, and vice versa.

Top 10 Safest Airlines 2021

In a year that saw record lows in airline passenger numbers and countless new health protocols for fliers that did board planes, safety on aircraft was no doubt top of mind for travelers throughout 2020.

“No review of aviation in 2020 can ignore the enormous impact that the COVID-19 crisis has had on the airline industry,” Dutch aviation safety organization TO70 wrote in a safety review, noting that retraining staff and reintegrating parked aircraft into fleets will need to be executed properly to eliminate ongoing safety concerns.
