So from what I have picked up from this thread (and general googling) it seems that the vast majority of accidents could probably have been avoided with superior training (or applying training correctly perhaps).
Whilst not relevant to me at the moment, in the future I quite like the idea of a parachute post PPL (well I like the idea now, but the general consensus seems to be that trying to learn in a complex aircraft is arguably more dangerous and could lead to unecessary errors), is it perhaps advisable to do more than the mandatory minimum for a type conversion and try and sit with someone who can explain the system intricacies and provide a more in depth training experience?
