context and statistics on plane plumbers

Aircraft streak has declined worldwide in recent years. Statista reports that the number and seriousness of accidents have dropped significantly in the past two decades. In 2022 there were 233 fatalities worldwide through aircraft. In comparison, such accidents claimed over 1,000 victims a year before the turn of the millennium.

Although the accident rate in commercial aviation is low compared to driving, many accidents happen during landing. There are challenges in Germany, especially in Germany, since some runways are difficult to see or there are limits near natural and urban. The development of landing assistants is considered an important measure to increase security during the landing process.

These current incidents remind us of the persistent risks of aviation, even in times when the security standards are steadily improved.
