Nick...I take your point. However you may have misunderstood. I am not putting TRF before CFIT or OEI...that's just the order I wrote it. Obviously , as others and you have said..we can actually practice OEI but CFIT and to a large extent TRF is going to be a classroom exercise....but can still be of benefit nonetheless.
I will kick off another thread on the subject "CFIT - Helicopters" when I get back from work today. I think it is a subject that will generate a lot of comment and may even help with my current project.
I dont have statistics.
I got my initial motivation from reading that the airlines are now doing CFIT courses along the same lines as CRM courses. Once I started to dig into the subject (but concentrating on helicopters only) I found a wealth of material....and was , in fact , quite shocked.
I will kick off the new thread with a list of accidents/incidents with dates. Where possible , they will come from official reports but will throw in anecdotal cases as well.
standby......
