Why do planes crash?

About 15% of plane crashes are due to technical problems. Statistics on crashed planes show that the two factors are closely linked. After all, no matter how experienced a pilot is, with serious equipment malfunctions, all his knowledge and efforts may be useless, especially in older models. shows that an accident can happen at any time.
Experts have derived approximate percentages:
during loading – 5%;
during takeoff, 17%; during climb, 8%;
during descent, 3%; during approach, 7%;
during landing – 51%.
Aircraft crashes due to malfunctions during flight statistically account for 6% of the total number of accidents. In the remaining cases there are other causes (e.g. terrorist attacks). Most accidents occur during landing. But not only scheduled landings of aircraft are taken into account here. Often the crew asks permission to land the car because of a malfunction in the mechanism to avoid tragic consequences. For example, quite often birds get into the engine, which can lead to a fire. Analysis of the statistics of falling aircraft shows that birds are considered the main enemy of aircraft in the sky. Technical problems are not the only cause of unplanned air transport landings. According to statistics forced landings during worsening climatic conditions are not uncommon. Unscheduled landings can occur due to sudden health problems of a passenger or crew member. Aircraft statistics have also recorded several cases of forced landings due to an argument between passengers.
