The stats don’t really indicate that. It’s not low time pilots doing the crashing really, at least not disproportionately. One very common cause is engine failure due to fuel problems, which means that a pilot didn’t check the tank, put the wrong fuel in, didn’t check for water, etc.
Even in GA the vast majority of accidents are something simple like that.
You have quite a bit of time at altitude to react and your training is largely about that. Unless it’s engine failure on takeoff or something
- LVB 6y agoI stopped my training after deciding that I wasn’t confident in myself to avoid such “simple” issues. I’m pretty distractible and even had trouble following checklists to some degree. I’m sure having a baby on the way contributed, but I’m still content with the decision today.
