pilots, really, really want to believe that any pilot involved in
fatal accident made a serious mistake and moreover, than it was a dump mistake. They want to believe this because it allows them to separate themselves from the accident pilot. Its a way to say "this would never happen to me". Absolutely true. We all want desperately to believe that every accident pilot was a dunce, and did something terribly wrong, since to believe otherwise would place in doubt our decision to launch ourselves into the wild blue yonder... The reason many of us are so interested in aviation accidents is because we are looking for reassurance that we're truly NOT "reckless" or "crazy" to "fly those little planes", as so many of our contemporaries like to trumpet. (We've all got friends and relatives who -- at least privately -- think we're nuts to fly.) I, for one, am continually analyzing and studying GA accidents, and comparing them with my own experiences and habits, in an effort to make sure that my family is as safe as possible. I believe this is healthy, and a good way to stay that way. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
