FL Technics Training: are

older aircraft less

Timew orn aircraft, poor quality

of MRO services and the

shortage of experienced pilots

are among the most frequent

reasons for the biggest

accidents in the aviation history.

The last year’s crashes of the

Russian aircraft have draw n the

airw orthiness directives for the

general aviation f leet seem to be

directly related to aircraft age

and f light time. On the other

hand, analysts say that human

error has accounted for 70 per

cent of all aircraft accidents over

the last decade. Many aviation

experts believe that as concerns

aircraft there is no such w ord as

‘old’, stressing that airplanes can

fly for many years as long as all

maintenance procedures are
