State the approximate proportion of aircraft accidents and incidents commonly attributed to human performance errors.
State the approximate proportion of aircraft accidents and incidents commonly attributed to human performance errors.
75% of aircraft accidents and incidents are caused by human errors.
List the common causes of fatal accidents for private general aviation pilots in New Zealand.
List the common causes of fatal accidents for private general aviation pilots in New Zealand.
The most common causes of fatal accidents for private general aviation pilots are:
- Flight into deteriorating weather
- Loss of visual reference / loss of control
Describe key features of good and safe airmanship.

12.110.4(a) forward limit;
12.110.4(a) . forward limit;
When CG is well forward the horizontal stabiliser has a long moment arm and the aircraft is very stable longitudinally.
Outside the forward limit control will be lost

12.110. Centre of Gravity (C of G)
12.110.4(b) aft limit.
12.110.4(b) . aft limit.
If the CG is behind the aft limit the aircraft would be very tail heavy very hard to control and would tend to stall and / or spin more easily – might be difficult / impossible to recover from this
