PM,

The solution I'm suggesting is that we start by understand the reasons why because it is clear that the rule makers have failed us.

What is there to understand? The rules exist and were broken.Plain and simple. No amount of rule making will take away client pressure, economic pressure or self induced pressure.This is especially true in a world of single pilots where there is no one looking over your shoulder and the only one making the decisions is the one least qualified to assess his or her own ability--- the pilot.
No one has failed us. We are our own worst enemy and the only solution is to understand that a 10K pilot was suckered into a situation that killed him. Until we have gadgets that can record a man's final thoughts, we will never know what Peter or any other pilot was thinking in the final moments.We can only surmise ,given the evidence so far, that what he might have been thinking is "I can do this", "It only happens to others" "Done this before can do it again" "Must get the job done" or thoughts along those lines.
