in the world. This does not include private or military aircraft (PlaneCrashInfo.com, 2010). Of these 29 were due to pilot error, 16 were related to the weather, and 5 were
due to mechanical problems that led to pilot error. Weather conditions alone accounted for 12 accidents and mechanical failures accounted for 22 fatal accidents (PlaneCrashInfo.com, 2010). The fatalities per million
flight hours is 4.03 on regular airliners (PlaneCrashInfo.com, 2010). More accidents are related to pilot error than to any other single cause. Some pilot errors involved weather conditions or
