Aerospace – Aircraft Collision on Runway

Reasons for an aircraft collision on runway

RCA template of aircraft collision on runway

Aircraft collision refers to the physical contact between two or more airplanes. It can occur in different stages of flight, such as on the ground, during takeoff or landing, or in mid-air. Although the thought of a plane collision may be scary, it’s essential to remember that such incidents are rare. The aviation industry has comprehensive safety measures and regulations to prevent aircraft collisions, and they take safety seriously. However, when collisions do occur, they can have severe consequences. Aviation authorities have strict protocols to avoid such incidents, but factors like miscommunication, human error, or technical failure can contribute to aircraft collisions on runway.
