 Disagree.  For most light singles with tricycle gear, some of your 
 landings may just be ungraceful.  With enough total hours, that 
 need not be the case.  At least, this issue has little to do with 
 fatal accidents, the context of your posts.  Two significant causes 
 of fatals are weather and fuel exhaustion, generally on long 
 x-country trips. 
 
Fuel management accounts for only 7.6% of pilot-caused fatal GA accidents, 
according to the 2004 Nall Report. Weather causes another 12.7%. They're far 
exceeded by takeoff/climb fatalities (16.5%), descent/approach fatalities 
(18.6%), and maneuvering fatalities (25.0%).
