General Discussion

even when applied to GA accidents. Without having to watch more than a couple of minutes of this video I was easily able to find the NTSB report on this one. Predictably, the probable cause was "the non-instrument-rated pilot's intentional visual flight rules flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in controlled flight into terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's established anti-authority attitude." https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/192293. However, there could have been other contributing causes (drugs, hypoxia, bird strike, mechanical failure), and it's important to know whether any of those were present. All of these data are used for educational purposes to prevent other accidents. This one was simply another instance proving the old adage, "You can't fix stupid."
