    Why then is the phrase pilot error being avoided?
    Because this is Ireland and we do not do that sort of thing. Its the same with Road Traffic Accidents, up to recently it would be very unusual to see the driver of a single vehicle crash that killed a passanger up on charges even if they were patently at fault.

    It is the same in every country in the world. They are there to make recommendations on safety and to find causes for accidents. They do not pass judgment on individuals.

    Read the reports on NTSB. CFIT is almost always pilot error.

    Learn to read.
    I have read the official report on the accident.
    It does not mention pilot error and it is vague as to the cause of the accident citing only probable cause.

    Your problem is understanding what words basically mean even though you seem to be able to read them.

    Learn to comprehend.
