What Causes Helicopter Accidents in Philadelphia
Even though helicopter crashes rarely make the news, this type of aviation accident can occur. The Flight Safety Foundation notes 121 helicopter accidents occurred in the U.S. in 2017. An estimated 20 percent of these accidents resulted in fatalities. Even though this statistic seems low, it’s higher than the combined percentage of fatalities occurring in airplane and car crashes.
The majority of helicopter accidents are related to pilot error, system(s) failure, and safety violations. Bad weather plays a large role, as does poor training, but about 20% of accidents are related to problems outside of the pilot’s control: directional control failures, broken rotors, fires, problems with the tail, etc. A high number of these types of accidents are caused by engine failures.
