There are some large-scale airline accidents that capture the attention of the media and the public. However, the truth is that most aviation accidents occur in small planes that do not draw significant publicity.

The types of aviation accidents are varied. Even when a plane is not in the air, it can still suffer extensive damage when something goes wrong.

The most common types of aviation accidents, include:

• Ground Accidents – occur between two planes on a tarmac or some other landing site. This can also include a plane hitting a terminal, a plane hitting a vehicle at an airport, or a grounded plane’s engine catching fire.

• Landing Accidents – occur when a plane is coming in for a landing and something goes wrong and causes the plane to crash.

• Mid-Air Accidents – occur when a single plane experiences some type of failure and plummets to the ground.

• Mid-Air Collision Accidents – occur when two or more planes collide while in the air. This is most common when one plane is taking off and another plane is landing.

• Take-off Accidents – occur when a plane either takes off and experiences an immediate system or component failure that causes it to crash back to the ground, or a situation in which a plane is unable to take-off as it speeds on the tarmac, due to a mechanical or system failure that results in an accident.
