In most years, nearly half of all weather-related accidents
happen as a result of continued VFR flight into instrument
meteorological conditions (IMC). Sadly, the vast majority
of those accidents are fatal. The subsequent NTSB ac-
cident investigations usually conclude that
most of these VFR into IMC accident pilots
made the decision to launch, or continue,
into weather that was clearly inappropriate for their skills or the flight rules under
which they chose to operate-but why?
In the Air Safety Institute's Accident Case
Study: In Too Deep (airsafetyinstitute.org/
ACStooDeep) ASI hopes to provide more
insight into the thought process that succumbs pilots to wander into this dangerous
territory. The video brings to light events
leading up to the tragedy as it pieces together the ill-fated flight with actual audio of the
pilot's discussions with air traffic control and
factual information from the NTSB report.
In Too Deep exposes some of the troubling
reasons why VFR into IMC accidents are all
too common in general aviation.

writer for the Air Safety Institute. She holds a
commercial pilot certificate with multiengine,
instrument, and seaplane ratings.
