There are 11 steps to survive a plane crash. For this week, there are just 4 steps that will posts for the blog readers and it will be continue for the other week.
The steps to survive a plane crash are :
1. Need to wear long pants, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and sturdy, comfortable, lace-up shoes.
High heels are not allowed on the evacuation slides and you can cut your feet and toes on glass or get flammable liquids on or in your sandals if you wear them.
2. Book the right seats.
It’s best to get seats as close as possible to an exit, and aisle seats are generally preferable. In addition, try to sit in the back of the plane. Passengers in the tail of the aircraft have 40% higher survival rates than those in the first few rows.
3. Read the safety information card and pay attention to the preflight safety speech.
4. Make a plan.
If the plane is going to crash, you almost always have several minutes to prepare before impact. Use this time to once again review where the exits are and try to determine what surface the plane will land on so you can customize your preparations.

Pilot Error Cause Aircrash accident
Based on the statistic those are given from PlantCrashInfo.com which represents the air crash accidents, the major causes these cases happen caused by pilot error sometimes called as cockpit error. Pilot error can be defined as mistakes, or failure that happened by an aircraft operator (pilot) during the performance of his/her duties. Usually in an accident, the pilot in command (Captain) made the error unintentionally. The pilot may be declared to be in error even during adverse weather conditions or mechanical failure of the aircraft. The pilot has responsibility to control their aircraft and the responsibility for the accident in such a case depend upon whether the pilot could reasonably know of the danger and whether he or she took reasonable steps to avoid the problems.

Aircraft Accidents..
An aircraft accident is defined in the Convention on International Civil Aviation as an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight and all such persons have disembarked, in which a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure.
This type of damage is the failure of an aircraft to suspend itself in flight due to mechanical or human error resulting in a collision with the ground or at the sea. Usually the speed of an aircraft for example airplane is 800 kilometres per hour and above. The speed itself shows how fast it is traveling from one place to another and caused fatality to the passenger on board when it crash.
When do Most Plane Crashes Happen..??
Approximately 80% of all aircraft accidents occur shortly before or during take off and landing. These are usually said to have been caused by pilot error, although these days this is more often referred to as human error, to emphasize that pilots are simply human beings. Aspects of aircraft design can play a part in accidents. The different design of aircraft was the most problems to the pilot for example, in early aircraft, many switches and buttons which performed different functions looked very similar. These days it has been realized that this is not a good idea, and everything is done to make sure that pilots cannot mix up the various controls.
