Not in general aviation. You're not going to get all the Cessna 172 owners to modify some part of their plane to make it better and avoid some incident where some yahoo private pilot did something dumb and crashed. It's hard enough just getting privately-owned aircraft to be properly serviced. Many of them are many decades old and quite primitive. You're not going to improve "the whole system", the HCI, etc. in some airplane made in 1940 or whenever.
Finally, attributing an incident to "pilot error" doesn't automatically mean that there weren't contributing factors or that things couldn't be done better.
- FabHK 10y agoThat's true. (Just as a rendering farm producing a major motion picture needs a different approach and policy than some dude on his typewriter... :-)
