BOTH of the accidents you mentioned above we

- by pilots "emulating the big guys"
Points to training, not banning passes...
Thanks,

PS: Not a new problem. Discussed in my 1987 article:http://www.nadler.com/public/Nadler_...g_May_1987.pdf


Your article is still a classic.

Nobody's banning anything here. Just talking about a maneuver, where
the danger points are (mostly the turn after the pass), and responding
to a previous post that wanted to know whether there have been
documented crashes.
