It is really neat to see how many people are thinking about how to prevent accidents and sharing their thoughts -- which cover a pretty wide range of approaches so there should be something for everyone.  For me, there is still something missing and I have been trying to figure out what it is.  What I think is that, while training in flying skills will help, better knowledge and awareness will help, following all the rules most of the time will help, installing safety gizmos will help, what we need most is a better way to think about flying.
 
There are several ways to avoid stalling -- better flying skills that come form training and experience is one; so is putting in an AOA or some other warning device.  Both take time, cost money and are limited by the pilot's inate ability, both mental and physical.  There is also a way that is easy and open to any pilot -- be aware of the risk and maintain whatever margins are required by all of the circumstances, including the kind of airplane being flown, the pilot flying it, the external conditions etc.  That approach requires no money, no experience and no particular skill except a kind of attitude that, at some level of consciousness, takes the process of flying seriously.
 
The military was good at teaching this skill.  We were taught to be agressive and were naturally given to taking risks.  The military did not try to suppress these things but also expected that there would be some attention given to a more sober assessment.  We were taught, in some sense, to have a split personality -- on one hand, we were encouraged to test the limits of performance (our's and the airplane's.)  At the same time, we were also supposed to know where the line was and, at least in peacetime, to stay not only on the right side of it but also far enough on the right side to operate safely under whatever the conditions were.  The failure to develop this skill was viewed at least as seriously as a failure to learn a particular piloting skill.
 
Lancairs provide the opportunity to do a lot of the things that we used to love so much about military flying and for that I am grateful more than I can describe.  I would not want to suppress the opportunity that these airplanes provide to us in any way.  I do think, however, that that little voice that monitors what we do all the time and pipes up at the right moment to say "Whoa -- this is getting gnarly.  Time to back off"  is as vital an element of flying Lancairs as it was of flying fighters.
 
I think that what causes a lot of the Lancair accidents is that voice being turned off.  It is pilots who got so caught up in how absolutely neat it is to have the privilege to do the kinds of things that we can do with our airplanes that they didn't listen to anything else.  I don't know how to train people to listen to the voice but I hope you can all find it.
