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.
