   4 days ago · In aviation, a terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) is generally an on-board system aimed at preventing unintentional impacts with the ground, termed "controlled flight into terrain" accidents, or CFIT.

   What is a controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accident?

   • A graphic showing the route of the accident airplane, a Cirrus SR-22, as it flew unintentionally into high terrain, with fatal results. Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents look like an altitude problem. But that’s not really true. CFIT accidents are often a situational awareness or positional problem.

   How do pilots react to controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) events?

   • Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) events still remain among the deadliest accidents in aviation. When facing the possible occurrence of such an event, pilots have to immediately react to the ground proximity alarm (“Pull Up” alarm) in order to avoid the impending collision. However, the pilots’ reaction to this alarm is not always optimal.

   What is controlled flight into terrain?

   • These types of crashes are called Controlled Flight Into Terrain, or CFIT (pronounced “see-fit”). A perfectly good airplane, under pilot control, impacts the ground. The terrain you descend into, or the terrain that’s rising up to meet you, isn’t visible until it’s too late to change your flight path to escape impact.

   What is CFIT in aviation?

   • Known as CFIT, it is pronounced as see-fit. It means that an airworthy aircraft under pilot control is unintentionally flown into the ground, a body of water, a mountain or an obstacles. Further spatial disorientation in an aircraft can arise from flight situations or visual misinterpretation.

   1 day ago · I see what you mean, Felix. Loss of life in an accident is always tragic. But when I compare this accident to those of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), for example, it's the difference in time between awareness of an emergency and the end that makes it hard to watch the video. In CFIT the event is over in a moment for those in the cabin.
