Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes
aviation fatal accidents include loss of control in-flight (LOC-I), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), system component failure of the powerplant (SCF-PP), and fuel-related issues. These causes often signify the final result of a chain of events ... chart, flight at high density altitude, flight in mountainous terrain, or intentionally flying too low. 11808 3.
