Root Causes Of Accidents
“Unspoken” causes of accidents

My plane just had an annual. It is in tip top shape. What could go wrong?

I’m not scud running, FSS says its MVFR.

I don’t need ATC, I’m only going across town.

My girlfriend really liked the weekend trip,
But my wife expects me home tomorrow.

My calculations say I can make it on one tank of fuel with 30 min reserve.

“Unspoken” causes of accidents

I don’t need to file a flight plan, It’s nobody’s business where I’m going.

My GPS screen was so distracting, I turned off all of those annoying
warnings.

I’ll let down early and sneak a peek.

My 172 gets off in 1200 ft at VDF.
Vail CO has 7000 of runway. No Prob. We can have a golf foursome after all.

I have a cold, but I am taking medicine for it.

“Unspoken” causes of accidents

I can change my own oil and spark plugs.

I upgrade my GPS Database yearly.

I saw Patty Wagstaff do it.

I am still current. I made three TO&L 60 days ago.

Must be a gauge problem.

“Unspoken” causes of accidents

My Storm Scope says I can go right through here.

ATC: Cross runway 32 without delay.
Pilot: I think that was for us wasn’t it?

The baby cried all night,
I might as well stay up so I can leave early for tomorrow’s flight to Dallas.

I could wait until tomorrow,
But I probably won’t have a job come Tuesday morning.

Hope we get that loan, let’s go flying and pre-celebrate.
