It is reported that about 75% of the flight crash all around the world is also due to pilot error. Pilots are given better practices to reduce committing mistake, but still it happens.
This is a list article of deadliest pilot errors happened between 2001 and 2010.

4. Mangalore Crash of Air India Express
This 158 people killed crash is the third worst air crash in India's history. The flight was flying from Dubai International Airport to Mangalore Airport, India carrying 166 people within it including flight crews. Read my article on exact reason for Mangalore crash. The runway was in a hilly area. After touching the runway, the plane overran and crash down the hill at the end of the runway. The runway in Mangalore is a table top runway. This airport is classified as critical airfield which means difficult for takeoff and landing. Only captain is allowed for takeoff and landing in critical airfield. Nine passengers didn't board the plane so they got their life back without injury or any other loss.

3. Pulkovo Airlines Flight 612 Crash
This disaster is the best example to know what happen if an airplane flies above the threshold height. This disaster killed 170 people in their travel from Vityazevo Airport to Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg). The main reason for the crash is that the aero plane flied through the altitude above which is designed to fly. This cause the aircraft entered in a flat spin, from which it never recovers. At the time of crash weather was very violent. The reason for the crash is suggested as pilot error.

2. TAM Airlines Flight 3054 Crash
In simple words the crash is due to overpassing the runway. Even though aircraft touched the runway normally, it didn't slow down as usual. Crossing the far end of the runway at around 90 knots, the aero plane crashed at four-storey TAM Express facility with huge fire killing all people on board. The airplane was travelling between Porto Alegre and So Paulo, Brazil, which crashed upon landing during rain in So Paulo. The investigators from Brazilian Public Safety Ministry concluded that the crash is a mistake by pilot. It is reported that runway had not been properly constructed with grooves to drain away excess rainwater. Investigators blame TAM that they fail to properly train their pilot in the time of emergencies.

1. American Airlines Flight 587 Crash
This Crash is listed as second deadliest air crash in last decade. Spreading rumors of terrorist attack all over the world, American Airlines crashed into Belle Harbor neighborhood of Queens in New York City. The flight was on the way from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Las Amricas International Airport, Dominican Republic. There are a lot of factors such as date, place, and airline's name which raised the rumor of terrorist attack. But chances of terrorism were officially ruled out by NTSB. The authorities conclude that the reason for the disaster is the first officer's overuse of rudder controls. The rudder caused enormous stress which is described as the first officer's "unnecessary and excessive" rudder inputs. However, this incident is classified as the second most deadly air crash in last decade.
