Pilot error refers to mistakes made by a pilot during the operation of an aircraft. These errors can occur due to misjudgment, lack of knowledge, or failure to follow procedures. Common examples include incorrect navigation, improper communication with air traffic control, or failure to respond appropriately to changing flight conditions. Such errors can lead to serious consequences, including accidents or incidents. Investigations often analyze pilot actions to determine if human factors contributed to a situation. Understanding pilot error is crucial for improving aviation safety and developing better training programs for pilots.
