Power-Push-Roll Addresses Past Strategy Conflicts A new paper written by flight instructor Rich Stowell tackles decades of conflicting guidance on recovery from spiral dives and other roll upsets. The paper offers a ready to adopt standard for general aviation: Power-Push-Roll. Loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) remains the leading cause of fatal accidents in general aviation. Most LOC-I events end in a stall, spin, or spiral dive linked to breakdowns in manual flying skills. “Convoluted spiral dive and roll upset information has been confusing pilots for decades,” Stowell says in a release.
