Too much automation?
Could this be an uintentional cause of greater automation in GA aircraft?
----------------
Pilot-in-Control
According to recent data prepared by the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC), loss of control-inflight (LOC-I) is the dominant cause of fatal GA accident in the past 10 years. “We need to get better at maneuvering our aircraft,” says Rich Stowell, seven-time Master Flight Instructor and author of “Pilot-in-Control” in the March/April 2012 FAA Safety Briefing. “LOC-I happens to low-time and high time pilots, to student pilots and ATPs alike.” Stowell suggests pilots build a multi-layered defense against LOC-I through better training in the mental skills needed to avoid LOC-I, coupled with better training in the stick-and-rudder skills needed to prevent and recover from LOC-I scenarios.

There has certainly been an increase in glass and more automation coming into even the most basic of GA airplanes in the last 10 years - the same same frame that the article says has seen an increase in LOC-I accidents.
