Aviation accidents refer to events involving aircraft that result in significant damage, injury, or loss of life. These incidents can occur during various phases of flight, including takeoff, landing, and in-flight operations. An aviation accident typically involves a malfunction or failure of the aircraft, human error, adverse weather conditions, or external factors such as obstacles or other vehicles.
Accidents in aviation are categorized based on severity, with some resulting in total loss of the aircraft and fatalities, while others may involve damage to the aircraft but no injuries. Investigations are conducted by aviation safety authorities to determine the causes of these accidents in order to improve safety protocols and prevent future occurrences. The term encompasses all types of aircraft, including commercial airlines, cargo planes, helicopters, and general aviation aircraft. The aviation industry continuously analyzes accident data to enhance technology, training, and regulations aimed at ensuring safer air travel.
