Summary
210 Max talks about common myths about CFIT, or Controlled Flight
into Terrain Accidents. More than 75% of CFIT accidents occur in
daylight, and more than half of these are in visual conditions. 25%
of accidents were VFR into IMC. CFIT accidents often occur while
using the autopilot. In September, a friend crashed an Arrow 10
miles from the destination while flying straight and level in Day
VFR.
