Chain of Events Leading to an Aircraft Crash: Malfunction and Human Factors

Inspecting Malfunction and Sighting Human Factors

Flights are always considered to be the vulnerable type of mode of transport as there are chances of incidents taking place. Aircraft incidents are normally seen when there is some sort of malfunction in the aircraft or there is some sort of human factors involved in it. There are a series of events that are more responsible for the incident taking place behind an aircraft craft. This essay will include a chain of events that lead to an aircraft crash. This essay will also talk about the human factors which are responsible for the event. This essay will also discuss the rules or regulations that can have prevented the incident.

Inspecting malfunction and sighting human factors

This crash took place within 30 minutes after the aircraft took off. By the statements of witnesses and also by watching and listening to the recordings present in the aircraft it could be said that this incident was more due to human error or negligence.  There was nothing wrong with the components of the aircraft and everything seems to be normal. The engine was doing well and also the engine was in good shape. There were chances that the engine might have been off and that could have caused the crash. But all the reports suggest that no sort of engine malfunction occurred. It has been noticed that the major reason for the incident was human error in form of a lack of awareness. Both pilot and passenger are responsible for human error.

Pilot trying to over show his skills

Videos and witnesses have shown that the pilot was quite unethical while flying the aircraft. The pilot tried to overdo his skills and was trying to do an aerobatic maneuver which is often considered dangerous while flying the aircraft. It is said that one should not try to do more maneuvers while flying the aircraft. It has been seen that aerobatic maneuvers were going on for 7 minutes and that can be considered as an extreme timeline for a 2 passenger plane as it is beyond capacity. The first thing which has been noticed in this chain of events is overdoing the aerobatic maneuvers by the pilot.

Ethical complications by Passenger

It has been noted that the passenger also tried to try his hands while flying the aircraft and this was unethical. It has been noticed that this was something not usual as passengers are not even allowed to touch the control of the aircraft. This is something which is the basic rule for any passenger. But here things were different as the passenger tried to try his hand over aerobatic maneuvers. This was something that becomes the major reason for the aircraft incident. It is one of the critical things which happened and later caused the incident. Passenger unethical thing led to the next series of the event of a crash.

Lost control of the controller

The last series of events that led to the crash of aircraft was the loss of control of aircraft. It was seen that after simultaneous aerobatic maneuvers. Aircraft lost its control and that was the final step behind this incident taking place. Both pilot and passenger tried to try their hand on the controller and which later resulted in the lost control. The pilot showed a lack of awareness as he let passengers fly the aircraft. And due to that aircraft lost its shape as the flight path was disturbed and one can observe that the loopy path of the aircraft was the reason for malfunction in the controls. Aircraft started to go down after continuous aerobatic maneuvers and later went into the ground. As by witness comments, one can observe that there were too many aerobatic maneuvers which led to the breaking down of the aircraft.  

Rules and regulations

The aviation industry needs to make some strict rules and have some regulations so that such incidents do not take place. There should be some ethical duties of the pilot as well as passengers which can help in controlling such accidents. There should be rules for the pilot that they should not entertain the passengers by trying something over their skills. They should always understand that they have to fly the aircraft and they should never take the hands of the controllers. This is something that is an ethical duty of a pilot and in no condition; he should take his hands away from the controller. There should be some ethical duties of the passengers as well and they should maintain that while traveling in an aircraft. Both pilot and passengers must understand their ethical responsibility while flying in an aircraft.

Conclusion

Based on the above discussions, it can be summarized that this even took place due to a lack of awareness by the pilot. He was not following his ethical duties and he let a passenger take over the control of the aircraft. This was something that caused the crash of the aircraft. There should be some rules and regulations for both pilots and passengers that should be followed by them.
