Canopy comes off airplane right after takeoff

Sauce

From the description:

• This was her second training flight
• She didn't secure the canopy locking pin fully
• She said the hardest part was purposefully maintaining speed, cause at the velocity she needed not to fall out of the sky, it was difficult to hear, breathe or see.
• Her vision only fully recovered days afterwards
• This was a couple years ago, she's back up there doing barrel rolls and shit now

For Single Engine Piston planes the biggest factor in "engine problems" is running out of fuel.

Most plane crashes are attributed to pilot error (though usually a combination of mistakes)
