Avoiding Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Accidents

Mitch Williams
Brief Description:
Technological advances in situational awareness have dramatically reduced the number of General Aviation Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents over the past 20 years. Nevertheless CFIT accidents continue to occur and at least half of them are fatal.
- Pilots of all certificate levels are prone to CFIT accidents.
- Most General Aviation CFIT accidents occur during the day and half occur in VMC.
- Pilots must accurately assess the risk associated with each flight and plan accordingly. They must also continuously reassess risk en route and commit to alternate plans before they are in a state of emergency.
