Pilot Error

Pilot error refers to mistakes made by pilots that contribute to the occurrence of an aviation incident or accident. These errors can result from misjudgment, miscommunication, fatigue, or misinterpretation of instruments and procedures. While pilots are highly trained professionals, human factors and complex scenarios can lead to errors. Importantly, pilot error is often one part of a chain of events, and understanding it helps improve safety protocols and training to minimize future risks. It does not imply negligence but acknowledges that human judgment can sometimes falter in high-pressure situations.
