I don't agree with Jabawocky often, but I do agree with his mantra - Trust the Data.
What do you mean often.....we are usually in violent agreement
Human factors, including when the skills required exceed the skills available. And this appears to be the single common factor in the majority of GA aircraft accidents. And, in my opinion, this is the single reason why pilots are their own worst enemies. I note that CASA have now mandated that they will not accept hand-Written logs from pilots managing their own diabetes but will now only accept electronic evidence from blood sugar testing devices. Could this possibly be because pilots have been fudging their blood sugar records to continue with their affair with the passion that is aviation?
This here is GOLD........POTY material right there.
And yes the data has no opinion.
