Actually, many of the Pred A air vehicle losses have been due to accidents in the approach to land phase (it's a pig near the ground, especially in gusty conditions), engine-related incidents (there's no fire detection/warning system, for example), poor weather conditions i.e. heavy precip/snow/icing, CBs and a few were ascribed to surface-to-air fire during the Op SW days.

Interestingly, human factors and the HMI have been listed as causal and/or contributary factors in many of the accidents.

possibly the pilots (hick) maybe flying much lower than needed also....
It would be extremely rare to find a Pred in this flight condition!

Cheers
