The Turkish passenger plane nearly crashed into the sea. Why is the safest means of transportation in the world airplane?

Because 95% of aircraft crashes are caused by human error, pilots have the most stringent review system among all transportation operators, and the maintenance frequency of aircraft is stricter than that of other transportation vehicles.

A Turkish Pegasus Airlines passenger plane overshot the runway when it landed at the airport in the northern city of Trabzon that day. Images published by the media showed that the plane rushed down the cliff and was only a few meters away from the seaside. The low-cost Pegasus Airlines flight took off smoothly from the capital Ankara, but overshot when landing in Trabzon. The flight had 162 passengers and 6 crew members, all of whom were safely evacuated. There were no casualties.

Although air crashes attract a lot of attention, from a statistical probability analysis, the number of flights per year divided by the number of deaths in air crashes is one thousandth that of cars one.

Planes generally have two sets of engines. Even if one of the engines is damaged, it can still complete all flight operations normally. Even if there is no fuel in the air or all engines are broken, it can continue to fly for more than 40 minutes and land accurately by adjusting the wings.

The pilot controls the wings through the hydraulic system. The chance of the hydraulic system breaking is one in 100,000, and every aircraft has three Set backup hydraulic system. All pilots are trained to land by rubbing their belly against the ground without using landing gear. (The airport will lay foam on the runway)

The aircraft was designed with the situation of forced landing at sea in mind, ensuring the structural integrity of the aircraft after the forced landing at sea.

Each aircraft has been carefully checked from the design to the factory. Even if the aircraft's engine is completely broken in the air and the oil is used up, the landing gear fails. Even if two of the hydraulic systems were broken, the absolute safety of the aircraft could still be ensured. The probability of an air crash caused by mechanical failure is extremely low.

There are many reasons for air crashes, but we still hope to work hard to avoid them.
