yep. when I was at the artcc, I worked several fatal accidents. there's a whole 'nother level of goofiness when you get into TBM and Pilatus guys. (every one of my crashes was one of those two airplanes) flying into weather, poor judgment, bad decision-making. lack of wisdom.
when im up in the tower cab monitoring operations now, I cringe when I see some of the certificated pilots doing stupid things. weather might be VMC, but marginal. I'll have my controller re-iterate weather to pilots as a sort of "Do you REALLY wanna go?" ...most don't get it.
a lot of guys mentioned stick and rudder stuff in this thread. knowing the rules, and working with other aircraft and atc is just as important.
