Causes Of Aviation Accidents
Aviation accidents can be caused by several different factors. In the United States, most civil aviation accidents are investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The NTSB will also typically investigate aviation incidents that occur abroad if they involve an American aircraft, or if they result in American casualties. When the NTSB investigates an aviation accident, they will gather as much evidence as possible from the scene and attempt to determine the likely or probable causes of the accident.
Pilot error and mechanical failures are by far the most common causes of aviation accidents. Other common causes of these devastating accidents include bad weather, air traffic control error, bird strikes, fires in the cargo hold or cabin, design flaws, sabotage, fuel starvation, high jacking, lighting problems, and pilot incapacitation. It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of commercial aviation accidents occur shortly before, during or after takeoff or landing. The chance of a mid-flight collision is far more remote but these incidents do occur.
