  Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes

  Other The top four causes of general 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 ... begin with, pilots should recognize hazards linked to causes of aircraft accidents as presented below: 11806 1. Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I)–Examples of loss of control scenarios include continued VFR into IMC, wake turbulence upsets, thunderstorm encounters…

  severe hazard to all aviation activities. Severe turbulence, hail, and other phenomena can create the potential for loss of control and may result in structural failure of the aircraft. • Icing–Icing conditions constitute a hazard, and in-flight ice accretion ... resulted in numerous loss of control accidents. Frost, ice, or snow adhering to the aircraft on the ground, if not removed, can also be a hazard. • Low Ceilings and Visibility–At times, conditions below minimums can extend beyond the range…

  findings of the NTSB final report of the Mooney accident, highlighted in yellow, emphasized the pilot's loss of control of the aircraft and inadequate in-flight planning. These facts accurately described the final events of the flight leading ... loss of control. In fact, conventional accident analysis classifies accidents such as this one as pilot error due to loss of control…

  consequences associated with this accident, when combined with at least occasional likelihood, created a high-risk level for loss of control. In hindsight, having a second pilot or “mentor pilot” for this flight may have reduced the likelihood of loss ... pilot and allowed for a departure during daylight, which also could have reduced the likelihood of loss of control…
