In all seriousness, if I fly into a mountain or the ground, both are unintended and terrain, and it’s not a UAV, so manned and controlled. It was incorrectly controlled but controlled. If the C in CFIT has to be properly controlled, then wouldn’t the pilot, avoid the terrain? If I can’t pull up in time is that not CFIT or is it only CFIT if the mountain or ground sneaks up on me?It's not CFIT.
Flying a perfectly good airplane into the ground.
