Not until there is a report, can we make conclusions.Has an investigation report been released regarding if it was a technical malfunction. Or it could've been the bitter pill to swallow involving major poor airmanship error. If this was a Viper or Thunder, I wonder if the same analysis would have been applied here on PDF.
Back in the 90s the same was being said for F-16s, even though the caliber of pilots converting to them were far higher and more competitive than today's intake.
An FT-7PG crashed just over a year ago, cause was pilot error. Human error is very much possible as much as technical failures, never forget that. And no I disagree, those are meaningless conclusions unless proven otherwise.Not until there is a report, can we make conclusions.
But,
It’s been a while since we heard of any FT-7 crash, possibilities are higher in the technical failure end than human error although human error is also much possible.
All we can do is wait and see

everytime i see this thread up in new posts my heart skips a beat
Human error is at the top of the list & than weather. If any actual pilots here then back me up.An FT-7PG crashed just over a year ago, cause was pilot error.

F7s life is over(rated at 20yrs) while PGs are on their last legs11 FT-7's and a staggering 32 F-7P/PG's have been written off in the last 10 years.
Considering these aircraft are post 1980's, nowhere near as old as some of our Mirages, there's something seriously wrong, either we're overworking these machines, there's some sort of shortcoming in the maintenance or there's something wrong with these Chinese machines. Whatever the reason is the number priority should be getting rid of these platforms especially the F-7P/FT-7P. Hopefully the new LIFT squadron and all remaining OCU's get a new platform wether it be the Thunder B or otherwise ASAP.
