Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) accidents account for 17 percent of all general aviation fatalities. More than half of these CFIT accidents occurred during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). Because a single-piloted, small GA aircraft is vulnerable to the same CFIT risks as a crewed aircraft but with only one pilot to perform all of the flight and decision-making duties, that pilot must be better prepared to avoid a CFIT type accident. In some cases, a GA pilot may be more at risk to certain CFIT type accidents because the pilot does not have the company management or government oversight that a corporate or commercial operator may be exposed to.
