Air travel is statistically quite secure. But if something does run wrong, what is imagined to be?
What is the most likely to basis injury or death contained by air travel? Take past its sell-by date, landing, mechanical dead loss, pilot error, terrorist action or something else?
Answers: The biggest basis of air accident is pilot error (more than half of adjectives incidents), then power-driven failure. The most potential time of an accident is during landing (more than partially of all incidents). However the most potential time to be killed surrounded by an accident if one happen is during main climb (25% of fatalities)
Causes
- Pilot Error 33%
- Pilot Error (weather related) 16%
- Pilot Error (mechanical related) 4%
Total Pilot Error 53%
Other Human Error 7%
Weather 11%
Mechanical Failure 21%
Sabotage 7%
Other Cause 1%
Timing of accident
Parked & taxiing 5%
Take-off & initial climb 17%
Climb, cruise, descent and initial approach 24%
Final approach & landing 51%
Timing of fatalities
Parked & taxiing 0%
Take-off & initial climb 22%
Climb (25%), cruise (8%), descent (12%) and initial approach (13%) 58%
Final approach & landing 18%
I personally never touch the sarnies on Easyjet. going down seriously quicker than you went up
Taking bad and landing in doomed to failure weather are probably the most dangerous parts of a flight. Take sour and landing are the most risky aspects of flying
