Whether it is CFIT or wires, press-on-itis in clouds, fog or snow or any other name we care to put on these things, all of them boil down to the same thing... Pilot error!

Of course there are times when there is a catastrophic mechanical/structural failure and there is little a pilot can do but more often than not...

Have a punt around the AAIB website if you haven't already, it makes for some interesting reading
