Key Takeaways:

The NTSB's 2016 "Most Wanted" list primarily targets general aviation safety, citing its "stubborn resistance to improvement" compared to commercial aviation.
Loss of control accidents in general aviation is the top concern, with the NTSB recommending better training, angle-of-attack technology, and improved cockpit situational awareness to address it.
Other key safety issues on the list include pilot fatigue, distractions from electronic devices, and a call for tougher medical checks for public vehicle operators like airline pilots.
