Except my sister and her husband died in a plane crash 2 years ago. A lot of these ultra cautious safety requirements apply a lot more to bigger commercial airlines and less to small private chartered planes.
Pilot errors also have underlying causes. Was the pilot properly trained for the particular situation that arose? How is the safety culture of the airline? Did some aspect of the airplane design make that mistake more likely, or hinder the possibility of recovery? Was the pilot tired or not well and should not be flying in the first place? There’s a thousand questions like that which can and should be asked in a proper investigation. Hopefully, they were.
(I have been binge reading my way through Admiral Cloudberg’s blog on medium lately. Perhaps not to be recommended for you, as reading about a hundred fatal plane crashes may be too emotionally painful.)
