7) TERRAIN COLLISION ACCIDENTS
About 7) TERRAIN COLLISION
This happens mostly in flight where the pilot does NOT become disoriented. The pilot is simply unaware of the looming terrain in his or her flight path. Normally the aircraft is proceeding normally and there is no cause for alarm, other than the fact that the aircraft path is directly aimed at an object. These accidents can occur when in either visual or in IMC conditions.
