Feelflight Grip Skid Warning addressesSystem Loss of Control issues

The FAA launched the “Fly Safe” mission in 2015 with an emphasis on reducing the loss of control problem in general aviation. The FeelFlight Grip was developed to address LOC.

Its patented innovation is thrust pins in the grip that signal the pilot’s fingers the angle of attack and inclination of the aircraft.

The FlySafe initiative has revealed some valuable information. LOC does not typically result from an inadvertent stall with wings level. The culprit is a skidding turn when turning base to final. An extra push on the rudder triggers a snap roll. And this happens so abruptly that typical stall warning systems are not triggered. The key to reducing LOC is warning the pilot when they are in a skid. This is where the FeelFlight system shines. It signals skidding turns: visually, audibly and with the haptic grip. All three signals are synchronized.

The FeelFlight system is now available without the grip. Some pilots choose to not modify their yoke. With audio and visual warnings, the skid warning is still a significant deterrent and helps pilots avoid the dangerous skid and snap roll.
