Final Approach
Not much more than 5 miles, straight line distance from my house.
The people on the plane should give thanks to whatever deity they believe in. A year ago that hill was covered with big trees. The outcome would have been much worse.

There is no where else. Not in the direction they were traveling.

Pre-takeoff checklist
So what exactly is the leading cause of engine failure during or shortly after takeoff? I don't think something like the Nall report breaks it down to that level. Anyone know?

I'm willing to believe, but state your source.

Is it safe to say that most accidents happen during the landing and taking off phase of flying?

Cleared for Takeoff
From what I remember yes. To take that even a step further most fatal accidents happen on takeoff, while accidents on landing have a much higher survival rate.

You're forgetting about "Maneuvering Flight." That gets many planes and many people, too!
