Fatal Plane Accidents in California
Plane accidents across the United States take place at a shocking rate. Unfortunately, there are many cases where people end up suffering fatal injuries as a result of these accidents. Some of the leading causes of fatal aviation accidents in our state include:
Pilot errors: it is true that pilots are involved in every single stage of a flight. When a pilot makes an error, it can have very serious consequences. There are many cases where decisions or failure to make decisions lead to severe accidents taking place. In some cases, poor training, fatigue, intoxication, and lack of experience on behalf of the pilot are factors that contribute to these errors.
Mechanical failures: about 20% of all airplane crashes involve some type of mechanical failure. This can be for repairs, engine failures, and other failures on moving parts of the plane.
Weather: reports provided by the National Transportation Safety Board show that more than two-thirds of all aviation crashes related to weather have been fatal. Heavy rain storms, snow, fog, and other natural elements can make it incredibly difficult to fly.
Other human errors: in addition to pilots, there are various other parties who can cause fatal accidents in aviation. These include dispatchers, maintenance engineers, and air traffic controllers.
