The most dangerous phases of flight are take-off and initial climb (which account for 20% of fatalities, despite amounting to just 2% of the duration of a typical flight), and final approach and landing (36% of fatalities during 4% of flight duration). In both of these phases, the aircraft is at its most vulnerable, aerodynamically speaking, because it is close to its stall speed. And, because the flight crew has a lot to do during these brief periods, they can easily make mistakes.

More than 40% of pilot fatalities are the result of a stall that turns into a spin. If this happens at low altitude, there is little room for recovery. And low altitude is just where it does tend to happen. Some 80% of stall-spins occur within 1,000 feet (300 metres) of the ground.
