Aviation accidents refer to incidents involving aircraft that results in significant damage or destruction, injury, or loss of life. These events can occur during all phases of flight, from takeoff and in-flight operations to landing. Aviation accidents encompass a wide range of occurrences, including crashes, mid-air collisions, and incidents on the ground. They can result from various factors, including pilot error, mechanical failures, adverse weather conditions, or external events such as sabotage or terrorism. The investigation of aviation accidents is typically conducted by regulatory bodies, which analyze the causes in order to improve safety standards and prevent future incidents.
