| - A pilot error is an unvoluntary action where a wrongly-executed maneuver can cause a small incident during a flight or even a fatal accident in the worst cases, in fatal accidents this is oftenly discovered when climate conditions and mechanical failures are completely discarted from possible causes. In some fatal accidents where the pilot dies, the most important reasons of commiting a fatal error are not completely confirmed, while in other cases it's easy to determine it by just listening to cockpit voice recorders.
- Senator--and USAF Reserves general officer--Ed Hill, who secured the secret funds that paid for Steve's bionics, is under suspicion of pilot error in a recent aircraft accident. Steve Austin is called to testify before the board of inquiry, and in his status as an Air Force colonel, because of his role as a test pilot for the type of aircraft that crashed, and both Hill and Oscar Goldman attempt unsuccessfully to prejudice his testimony prior to leaving San Diego.

| - A pilot error is an unvoluntary action where a wrongly-executed maneuver can cause a small incident during a flight or even a fatal accident in the worst cases, in fatal accidents this is oftenly discovered when climate conditions and mechanical failures are completely discarted from possible causes. In some fatal accidents where the pilot dies, the most important reasons of commiting a fatal error are not completely confirmed, while in other cases it's easy to determine it by just listening to cockpit voice recorders.
- Senator--and USAF Reserves general officer--Ed Hill, who secured the secret funds that paid for Steve's bionics, is under suspicion of pilot error in a recent aircraft accident. Steve Austin is called to testify before the board of inquiry, and in his status as an Air Force colonel, because of his role as a test pilot for the type of aircraft that crashed, and both Hill and Oscar Goldman attempt unsuccessfully to prejudice his testimony prior to leaving San Diego. When the transport arrangements made by Washington are delayed, Senator Hill decides to take his own small plane to Luke Air Force Base, and invites Col. Austin to fly as co-pilot. But Hill suffers a lapse of awareness during the flight. The passengers awake from a nap to find themselves off course in a storm and without a working radio transmitter. An engine leak sprays hot oil into Steve's face, and he is blinded. They make an emergency landing in a remote desert location. While stranded, Hill's advisor, Joe Lannon, schemes to assassinate Steve, convinced that once they are rescued, Steve's testimony will bury Hill. Meanwhile, Steve works with Hill to repair the plane. Steve, Lannon, and Hill's son, Greg, clear a runway and they take off. Once airborne, Hill again lapses into a waking trance, and Steve must fly literally blind, using his fingers on the dials, Greg Hill's eyes, and an air-traffic controller named Denby. Once back in civilization, it turns out that Senator Hill has a brain tumor. The senator retires from office, accepts full responsibility for the crash, and turns in his military wings. An eye doctor treats Steve's normal eye, but as for the other, he says that "that's a little out of my line." Oscar and Steve reassure him they have a specialist.
