Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes
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 the final result of a chain ... Examples of loss of control scenarios include continued VFR into IMC, wake turbulence upsets, thunderstorm encounters, instrument failure, improper aircraft loading, loss of outside references during flight at night or over water, and conditions that exceed the pilot’s capability…

Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Failure to Anticipate, Act, & Verify
Failure to Anticipate, Act, & Verify Automation offers increased safety with enhanced situational awareness. However, these systems make it possible for a pilot to become complacent, unprepared, or lose situational awareness. If this occurs and an unexpected change in flight plan ... crew was unexpectedly cleared for an approach, lost situational awareness, and crashed into mountainous terrain.
