Each year, the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigate thousands of accidents involving different types of aircraft; however, the most common type of crash these groups look into are General Aviation Accidents. These crashes involve recreational aircraft piloted by licensed pilots who are not profiting from the flight.
An article from Forbes magazine explains that in an effort to reduce the number of these crashes that are reported each year, the NTSB has launched a safety campaign. The campaign is comprised of five different informational sheets used to raise pilots’ awareness of some of the most common dangers they face in the air, which include pilot errors and mechanical malfunctions.
NTSB officials say the sheets work by reminding pilots of the importance of following safety protocols at all times when in the air and on the ground. For example, a sheet titled “Armed for Safety: Emergency Locator Transmitters Alert” states pilots should remember to turn these devices on and ensure they are attached to the airplane every time they fly.
The new alerts come on the heels of five other such announcements released earlier this year.
The Aviation Accident Attorneys with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy recognize the importance of improving aviation safety and hope the new safety alerts are successful in keeping pilots safe during their upcoming travels.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients.

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals.

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
