All too often, the NTSB and the FAA have failed to adequately explain the root causes of most fatal general aviation accidents. Typically, the final accident reports describe the event that causes the crash, such as "loss of control," but fail to sufficiently probe for the deeper cause(s) that led to the accident.

The good news is industry recognizes the problems. The bad news is it's having trouble with implementation.
