The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) work group report suggests that human bias   particularly Plan Continuation Bias   may be significant factors in CFIT accidents.  In this presentation we ll talk a little bit about CFIT and human biases that may negatively influence pilot decision making.  We ll review some CFIT case studies and we ll offer some thoughts on how to effectively manage things that we can control and plan for dealing with things that are beyond our control.  Finally we ll offer a few suggestions for maintaining pilot proficiency.
