Around 1% of accidents in powered aviation where the pilots had an
official medical had

those under 40 isn't it?

To check or change
. Gliders are coming out
with better cockpit ventilation nowadays. It took long enpough.
failure to provide adequate ventilation in the cockpit is like
failing to provide proper cooling for the engine in a powered aircraft.

I was surprised to see the JS-1 vent didn't have a nice funnel to
guide the cockpit airflow in to it. Just cut off square inside.
Don't know how much difference this mkes.

It doesn't do any harm to speculate as you get to
realise all the failure modes that can lead to
the same outcome. An official report usually finds just one.
At least in this case there will be a report. I
don't expect we'll ever see anything sensible out
of our quite similar accident on
