Tom, indeed the curious ones in which we don’t understand how those accidents could have happen to experience pilots are the ones I referred to.
I don’t think you can call those poor airmanship. I think many accidents are due to “momentarily laps of judgment� due to “tunnel vision� which is a human flaw and not necessarily poor airmanship. I am afraid we will continue having similar accidents statistics no matter what we do since we are humans participating in an unforgiving activity.

Ramy,

If you don't understand how they happened then you can't say what WASN'T involved. Nonetheless, the majority of the accidents were poor airmanship - the others MIGHT have been, we just don't know either way.

Andy said exactly what I mean and summarized my thought on the subject better than I can. There is nothing I can add to what Andy said to better explain my philosophy of why and how accidents happen.

Also, as Dale said. I also think I am probably mostly lucky.
