e. Controlled Flight Into Terrain, Education and Training Aid.
Historically, most of the research related to CFIT accidents and the development of
recommended safety practices have been done for air carrier type operations. The
Controlled Flight Into Terrain, Education and Training Aid, is a good example of
such research done by industry and government. Produced by the Flight Safety
Foundation, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and the FAA,
the aid provides a good history, lists common dangers, and provides some recommended
means of combating CFIT accidents for air carrier operations. In addition, the document
is a valuable resource for anyone developing a CFIT training course. (Note:
