It is required for your first solo...and hopefully still doable after 20,000 hours.

If not then an admission of not having this skill would be to give up flying, which apparently is what happened. But this should be done prior to the accident through harsh analysis of one's skill and being one's own toughest critic.
It's a pity you come out with the "incompetent" endorsement without bothering to understanding the circumstances.

From the report.
The organisers consulted Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 403 – ‘Flying Displays and Special Events: A Guide to Safety and Administrative Arrangements’, and identified ‘Runway departure during take‑off or landing and collision with people or static aircraft’ as a hazard. The risk assessment determined that the distance between the crowd line and the active runway was not ideal, so the organisers mitigated this by moving the runway as far from the crowd line as the available space allowed, fencing the crowd line with safety barriers. These actions, they considered, reduced the risk to an acceptable level. In addition the organisers of the event distributed posters to advertise the event around the local community, including a warning that, whilst appropriate safety measures had been taken, ‘active airfields can be hazardous’.
So the public had been warned of the risk they were accepting, and the woman knowingly accepted that risk.

The car was parked near enough to the red marking.



It's interesting that you determine a level of compassion by word count. Are you really for real? Hate to tell you, but life means accepting risk, and that's the prime reason hospitals have trauma centres. The woman accepted the risk, and unfortunately paid a price.
