"Risk management" is a buzz phrase that's frequently used, but less often explained. In our view, to manage risk, you need to have some means of ranking hazards contextually. In other words, even though we publish articles about the terrors of convective weather and icing, the actual risk of a fatal accident as a result of either one is relatively low. It's higher if you fly in such conditions regularly, but zero if you never do.rnBut everyone who flies is always subject to the stall/spin and the CFIT risk. Focusing on the stall risk, we think that based on our findings, a strong case can be made that many pilots simply don't understand the dynamics of stalls and are caught by surprise when they get into an unrecoverable one at low altitude.
