AvSafe's clients include McDonnell Douglas, Raytheon, Cirrus, Cessna, Northrop Grumman, United States Marine Corps as well as individuals interested in finding the true cause of their accident. Some representative cases are listed below. |
 |
Runway Incursions are accidents involving collisions between aircraft operating on airport runways and taxiways. |
 |
Inflight fires, like the 1996 Miami, Florida ValuJet accident pictured at the left are usually catastrophic. |
 |
Inflight breakups like inflight fires are catastrophic. |
 |
Midair collisions, like the one pictured at the left between two F/A-18's, are usually deadly. Fortunately these two pilots lived to tell their tale. Not all midair accidents end so well. Over 30 percent of all Navy/ Marine Corps "pilot error" accidents are midair collisions. Many military midairs involve aircraft practicing aerial combat or "dogfighting". Civil midair collisions usually involve two aircraft operating close to an airport-- either taking off or landing. |
 |
Wire Strikes like the tragic EA-6B wirestrike (shown here) that killed twenty skiers in Cavalese, Italy last year are all too common. The Navy /Marine Corps averages 1.5 wirestrike accidents a year. The Air Force averages 1 a year. HAI reports that wirestrikes are the number one cause of helicopter accidents. In some cases a single wire has been involved in more than one aircraft accident. In one case, a wire in Pennsylvania was involved in four wirestrike mishaps. |
