TrafficInSight said:"more fatal crashes than government records reflect."
huh?
They think that just because this (PIC control notation) is in here that the FAA and NTSB is blaming the pilots. While the truth is that the FAA is blaming themselves and Fine Air for the resultant crash.Findings
1. (C) AIRCRAFT WEIGHT AND BALANCE - INADEQUATE
2. (C) IMPROPER USE OF PROCEDURE - OTHER PERSON
3. (C) INADEQUATE SURVEILLANCE OF OPERATION - COMPANY/OPERATOR MGMT
4. (C) INADEQUATE SURVEILLANCE OF OPERATION - FAA(ORGANIZATION)
5. (C) TRIM SETTING - IMPROPER
6. (C) AIRCRAFT CONTROL - NOT POSSIBLE - PILOT IN COMMAND
7. (C) AIRSPEED - NOT MAINTAINED
8. STALL

Occurrence #2: IN FLIGHT COLLISION WITH TERRAIN/WATER
In the case of the Tex Star crash, I would say it WAS the pilots fault. His inability to fly partial panel as he was trained to was the reason the plane had crashed. Whether or not the NTSB report that leads us to this conclusion is entirely correct or not, sadly, will never be known. To me it sounds as if the widows are on a witch hunt.The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows.
The airplane being misloaded to produce a more aft center of gravity and a correspondingly incorrect stabilizer trim setting that
precipitated an extreme pitch-up at rotation, was (1) the failure of Fine Air to exercise operational control over the cargo loading
process; and (2) the failure of Aeromar to load the airplane as specified by Fine Air. Contributing to the accident was the failure of
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to adequately monitor Fine Air's operational control responsibilities for cargo loading and the
failure of the FAA to ensure that known cargo-related deficiencies were corrected at Fine Air.

We have to remember that aviation is inherently dangerous. And, the risks are voluntary.
