The global aviation industry has witnessed several fatal accidents over the past few years. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a total of 5 fatal accidents that involved loss of life of the crew members as well as the passengers, were recorded in the year 2022. Further, in the same year, the fatal accident rate was recorded to be 0.16 per million sectors, while the all accident rate was 1.21 per million sectors. Fatality risk, on the other hand, touched 0.11 while 1 fatal accident with 19 fatalities was being experienced by one of the member airlines of the IATA in the year 2022. Here is a list of the top aviation mishaps & their real causes:
Aviation safety targets are guidelines that governments and aviation industries have agreed upon to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established these standards in response to the crash of TWA Flight 800, which killed all 230 people on board.
The primary emphasis of aviation safety management is flight safety, which includes all related support services that influence safety, including air navigation services and airport operations management. The term "Safety Management System" refers to the systematic integration of proactive safety management components (SMS).The future of avionics safety would definitely boom in the upcoming years. The huge investments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools, followed by the rapid advancements in Big Data, could all be seen as a promising way of promoting safety in the field of aviation. On the other hand, with the growing adoption of electronic vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM), the focus on prioritizing safety is at the forefront of everything else. These would hereby open the doors for businesses worldwide to develop more sophisticated safety systems in the years to come.
