Скачать или смотреть EP-3 | The NASA–Boeing 10-Second Critical Window | 10 Seconds to Survive Loss of Control In-flight

How long does a pilot really have to prevent disaster after an airplane upset begins?
NASA and Boeing answered that question in their 2004 Critical-Window Study—a groundbreaking analysis that revealed pilots typically have less than 10 seconds to recognize and recover before an unrecoverable Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) occurs.

In this episode of 10 Seconds to Survive Loss of Control In-flight, Paul “BJ” Ransbury, CEO of Aviation Performance Solutions (APS), breaks down the research that inspired the series title. You’ll learn:
✈️ How NASA and Boeing defined Quantitative Loss-of-Control Criteria (QLC) across five flight envelopes.
🧠 What the critical window tells us about pilot response time and situational overload.
⚡ The common sequence from lateral upset → roll control saturation → stall or overspeed.
💡 Why effective Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) must build recognition, discipline, and response within that 10-second window.

This is where science meets survival—the evidence behind why every pilot must be ready.
