Title:

Topic:
We Will Address Causal Factors With All of the Accidents Which Were Either Loss of Control or Controlled Flight Into Terrain
Date and Time:
Tuesday, February 3, 2026, starting at 19:00 Central Standard Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Mark Gaffney
Brief Description:

We will review four recent aviation accidents in detail. All the accidents have two things in common. First, the accidents occurred in Nebraska and second, the primary causal factors were loss of control or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). Loss of Control is the number one cause of aviation accidents in the state of Nebraska, with CFIT being the number two. We will exam how each of the accidents occurred, address other factors, and look at ways we can mitigate our own risk as pilots based on these case studies.
