This Chart


This chart is very informative when considering that the landing phase of flight is the most dangerous out of the four phases of flight which are; taxi, takeoff, cruise, approach/ and landing . The so called stress mode, I like to call it "  Extreme Awareness "comes while landing and it all comes together because there has been a huge increase in landing accidents. I know landing is that in which it highly requires concentration, situational awareness, and the ability to handle every action correctly...Like any other phase of flight but with less time to recover. Being in a low altitude (landing) gives the pilots little time to think and recover from hitting terrain, so that's one reason why pilots are less successful at landing crashes.
