Perhaps they are not mistakes as such, at least not in a way that answering 2+2 = 5 is. It just could be that given a particular set of (generally stressful) circumstances repeated often enough, an incorrect response will be produced. Maybe that some individuals are susceptible more then others and the problem may be in identifying how to overcome the fallibility rather then simply identifying the cause, such as keep safe flying speed in the circuit.

Thanks Mark, the information below is (morbidly) fascinating. Do you have a link to the RISKs site for direct updates?

Various info is enclosed here:

Official home page is here:

(including an archive, which makes pretty depressing reading when you
go through enough of it to notice patterns of failure which persist
to this day.  We really haven't found any new ways of killing ourselves,
and nor have we learned any real lessons.  We just keep making the
same dumb mistakes over and over and over again...)
