Pilot age and error in air taxi crashes. [PDF]
Aviat Space Environ Med, 2009 The associations of pilot error with the type of flight operations and basic weather conditions are well documented. The correlation between pilot characteristics and error is less clear. This study aims to examine whether pilot age is associated with the prevalence and patterns of pilot error in air taxi crashes.Investigation reports from the National
