( Note that the definition that I use myself is to view accidents as being 'a basically complex chain of events'. In that context there are no single cause accidents, which is also true for 'pilot mistake'. )
On final approach and landing. Everything is going on smoothly and then all of a sudden during a very short time interval from passing DA to somewhere on initial GA aircrft falls from the sky.
My point is that the probabilty of a critical pilot mistake during these maneuvers in bad weather coinciding with critical aircraft system failure is kind of minuscule.
