Pilot Error
Traveling by plane is both a blessing and a curse of modern life. It offers passengers the opportunity to move swiftly across significant distances, far faster than automobiles or trains allow. Moreover, it permits a traveler to make a journey without having to pay constant attention to the roadway, which can be a tremendous relief. Yet airplane flights can also be unnerving and a process filled with a variety of headaches. Security lines, strict luggage requirements, and the anxiety caused by turbulence are just the beginning.
When the faith that passengers place in the crew of their plane is broken due to pilot error, the effects can be devastating. Serious injuries and fatalities are likely outcomes, and the victims or their survivors may pursue legal action against the negligent airline or pilot responsible for the accident.

Examples of Pilot Error
At the most fundamental level, pilot error may be considered to have occurred when a pilot’s action or inaction represents a departure from the accepted professional standard. Airplanes are highly complex pieces of machinery and flying them safely demands extreme caution and the full attention of the pilot, co-pilot, and others. Some examples of pilot error may be:
- Refusal to postpone a flight due to unsafe weather conditions
- Failure to adequately communicate with air traffic control
- Insufficient fuel load
- Neglect of gauges and instruments
