AQP categories

AQP stands for Advanced Qualification Program. All general aviation fatal accidents fall broadly into two categories: C-FIT, not fully aerodynamically stalled, and controls still effective at the instant of impact; or U-FIT, fully aerodynamically stalled, and controls ineffective at the instant of impact.
