Just to add to that, "Loss of control" has taken over from CFIT as the number one killer in airline flying. Many think that this may be misleading as 'loss of control' is the consequence and not the reason. The reason being fatigue. If we can make a big dent in the fatgue issue we will solve many many incidents and accidents, not just he headline ones. Thousands of altitude busts, hundreds of taxi incidents, countless SOP's breachs, long/heavy/short landings, RTO's due to incorrect configs, etc etc etc. If we can use technology combined with legislation we can take another leap forward in aviation safety similar to what occurred with the advent of of EGPWS.
Your thoughts,
