Administrators BRAAP Posted February 21, 2008 Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2008 C.F.I.T., (pronounced “See Fitâ€â€¦) Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) describes an accident whereby an airworthy aircraft' date=' under pilot control, inadvertently flies into terrain, an obstacle, or water. The term was developed by engineers at Boeing in the late 1970s.[citation needed'] The pilots are generally unaware of the danger until it is too late. In civil and especially in private aviation, CFIT may be humorously referred to as the result of "rock-filled clouds" or "cumulogranite" (from the terms cumulus, or "cloud," and granite) when it is caused by terrain being obscured by clouds. Pilots with any level of experience, even highly experienced professionals, may commit CFIT. Pilot fatigue, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation may play a role. The incidents often involve impact with significantly raised terrain such as hills or mountains, and may occur in conditions of clouds or otherwise reduced visibility. CFIT often occurs during aircraft descent to landing, near an airport.[citation needed] CFIT may be associated with equipment malfunction. If the malfunction occurs in a piece of navigational equipment, it may mislead the crew into improperly guiding the aircraft despite other information received from all properly functioning equipment, or despite clear sky visibility that should have allowed the crew to easily notice ground proximity (compare tunnel vision). In other cases, the usually minor malfunction does not affect the overall airworthiness of the plane, but may distract the crew from properly guiding the plane. “… Check it Yo.. Was driftin the ole ladies Mustang in the Wally World parking lot, and those darn light poles with the concrete base?…Yeah, mad skills kicked in mid drift, then committed CFIT yo…†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
