Why Planes Crash

 

            Plane Crashes and Their Contributing Factors 4.
             Human factors play a vital roll in aviation operations and are a contributing factor in most aviation accidents, it is impossible however to blame plane crashes on one reason since events leading up to an accident are so varied. Reasoning for plane crashes can be placed in a broad number of categories. Even though plane crashes can be quite tragic, much can be learned from each accident to over all decrease the number of accidents and deaths that occur in aviation. I will discuss and give examples of some of the most common reasons why airplanes crash and show that most plane crashes are a result of human error in combination with other contributing factors. .
             Plane crashes occur for a number of reasons. There seems to be a consensus with the general public that flying is dangerous, engines fail and planes crash. That is true some times, although the majority of plane crashes occur largely due to a combination of human or pilot error and other factors. Some of the other major reasons for plane crashes that I will touch on are the environment, mechanical failure, poor maintenance, improper procedure or no procedure for the circumstances for that matter. All of these can be deciding factors in the safe operation of an aircraft; most of the time however they go hand in hand with pilot error. .
             Environmental conditions play a vital part in aviation as a whole. Much planning goes into a flight based on the current and forecast weather conditions for safety reasons. This is due largely because of the number of accidents that have occurred due to planes flying in bad weather such as thunderstorms with low level wind sheer, lightning, hale, icing conditions and poor visibility. Poor weather can be very dangerous to flight but most accidents can be avoided if the right precautions are taken to avoid potential bad weather situations.
