Clear Lake, Iowa was the site of the infamous plane crash now known as the Day The Music Died. Three foundational rock n’ roll icons faced an untimely demise because of the accident. Aircraft incidents like this do occur and it is important to seek the safety of future aircraft passengers as well as justice for those injured in accidents. Aircraft accidents can have dangerous and even tragic results and it is important that safety is a primary concern every time a plane prepares for takeoff.

In a study compiled by Boeing, 57% of commercial flight accidents occur midflight when pilots must make significant decisions that can have a great effect on the safety of every person on the plane. One of the most dangerous in flight situations that can lead to an aircraft crash are mechanical errors that leave a plane in a compromised mechanical state.

Mechanical errors can arise from a number of different causes. Some errors are indicative of design flaws that are the result of manufacturer negligence. If a product is improperly installed it can cause serious in-flight issues. If a product is improperly designed, it can also be a concern if the design flaw seriously affects the functioning of the plane.

These types of dangerous errors may also be the result of improper maintenance. Planes undergo a great deal of strain in flight. They also face extreme conditions during their flights. A lack of maintenance can lead to dangerous deterioration of the safety of an aircraft. Any negligence in maintenance can have significant impact on how a plane functions.
