Air travel is statistically fairly safe. But if something does go wrong, what is likely to be?
- going down a lot quicker than you went up
- I personally never touch the sarnies on Easyjet
- Take off and landing are the most risky aspects of flying
- The biggest cause of air accidents is pilot error more than half of all incidents, then mechanical failure. The most likely time of an accident is during landing more than half of all incidents. However the most likely time to be killed in an accident if one happens 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 accidents 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%
- Taking off and landing in bad weather are probably the most dangerous parts of a flight
