Excellent post speedy:
I'm talking about basic GA type accidents in jets
This is the crux of the issue.
Loss of control has overtaken CFIT as the number one accident cause IIRC & the accident rate has not declined over the last 10 years. Fundamental stick & rudder manipulative skills are now beyond an increasing minority of crews in RPT jet operations. The push by operators to lower the bar will only see this increase over time, and with it the a corresponding increase in these type of accidents.
