Background

The purpose of this Safety Enhancement is to reduce the risk of loss-of-control accidents by having each Air Carrier clearly state a policy, reinforced in training, that emphasizes establishing controlled and stabilized flight as the primary consideration during non-normal situations. To improve flight crew proficiency during upsets or non-normal situations, air carriers should emphasize through training and standard operating procedures (SOPs) the importance of controlling and stabilizing the airplane before evaluating non-normal situations.
