New York based aviation accident lawyer discusses one of the most common causes of plane crashes: uncontained engine failure.

Plane crashes can be caused by a number of things. Pilot error, which contributes to an estimated half of all plane accidents, is stated to top the list of causes. However, uncontained engine failure is also high in the ranking. The type of engine failure poses a threat to passengers on board and the aircraft structure.

Recently, a small plane crash made headlines after the pilot crashed into a flight training building at an airport in Wichita. A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board stated that the pilot had declared an emergency right before takeoff, and engine failure played a role.

Source: AP Report “NTSB: Landing gear down before Wichita plane crash”

“The NTSB’s preliminary report said witnesses on the ground estimated the plane was fewer than 150 feet above land when it began a left turn. Witnesses reported the plane had its landing gear down before it hit the Flight Safety International building at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.”

In another headline making plane crash this year, engine failure was found to be the cause following an investigation.

“Tehran (AFP) – A plane crash in Tehran that left 39 people dead last month was caused by engine failure and overloading, local media quoted Iranian authorities as saying on Monday.”

According to New York based aviation accident lawyer Jonathan C. Reiter, uncontained engine failure is more of a serious threat than contained engine failure due to how engine components that may separate inside of an engine exit. With a contained engine failure, pieces may exit through the tail pipe or remain within the cases of the engine. When the failure is uncontained, loose components may exit in other directions at high speeds, causing a number of complications that pilots have difficulty controlling, which in many cases leads to tragedy.
