Respectfully, I think that’s wrong… an accident is something that happens outside your INTENT. Control is relative., and not a threshold condition. If you tip the first domino in a chain of them, the last one falling is out of your control at that point, but it’s no accident…
Edit: not to get too deep in the weeds here, but I think what you’re touching on is actually the legal definition of “recklessness”. If a person doesn’t intend for a given result to happen, but a reasonable person should have known that there was a high likelihood of that result occurring, then that person bears some responsibility for the outcome notwithstanding the lack of intent. So I think it’s more correct to say that the crash was, indeed, an accident, but one that arose because the pilot recklessly avoided the clear danger involved. So the pilot bears responsibility for the accident occurring.
None of this changes the fact that the 414A is awesome and it’s my go-to plane now in the sim. I’m even close to figuring out the climate control system…!
