The paper reviews a number of accidents caused by large passenger carrying public transport aircraft inadvertently flying into the ground or water. The lessons to be learned in the areas of human factors and the benefits of airborne equipment (particularly GPWS) are discussed. The paper does not make specific recommendations but reminds flight crews of circumstances which can lead to such accidents. (Copyright (c) Civil Aviation Authority London October 1985.)
