When most families set foot in an airplane, the last thing on their minds is an accident or crash. However, aviation accidents occur more frequently than one might expect. Aviation accidents can come in many different forms, whether on commercial air carriers, non-commercial aircraft, charter flights, business jets, pleasure craft, hang gliders or helicopters. Despite significant improvements in aviation technology and the ever-increasing safety standards of air travel, aviation accidents are still a dangerous cause of death in the United States.
