Controlled Flight Into Terrain - We all know it happens, so why does it keep happening?
Every year there are way too many accidents where the pilot flies a perfectly good aircraft into the terrain or an obstruction. Pilot Distraction; Low Situational Awareness; Asleep at the Wheel; Continued Visual Flight into Deteriorating Weather........Let's talk about it.
Continuation Bias - What keeps a Pilot pushing forward when the conditions may be telling you to LAND?
