New York Attorney Jonathan C. Reiter discusses preliminary investigations into the Air Algerie plane crash that suggest pilot inexperience may have played a role.
Pilot inexperience has been a significant contributing factor in a number of plane crashes that have occurred over the last few years, according to international plane crash lawyer Jonathan C. Reiter. Reports have surfaced about the crash of Air Algérie Flight 5017, one of the more recent major international airline disasters, that indicate pilot inexperience may have played a role in that crash as well.
Information about the possible cause of the Air Algérie plane crash, which killed 118 people, was recently revealed following confirmation that investigators in France had received black boxes from the accident.

Investigators now believe that the pilot’s reaction after running into a violent storm may have caused him to make fatal mistakes.

The Jonathan C. Reiter Law Firm, PLLC has handled numerous plane accident cases linked to issues such the inexperience of pilots. When speaking on international flight disasters like the crash of the Air Algérie plane, Attorney Jonathan C. Reiter shares that investigators must typically rule out a number of possible causes before making a determination about what led to an accident. Air Algérie crash investigators continue to examine the possibility that other factors, such as mechanical failure, may have also contributed to the occurrence. The outcome of so many of these investigations however, often shows that pilots lacked the experience needed to handle a particular emergency situation. As in the case of the Air Algérie plane’s pilot and crew, their limited experience in flying on the challenging route possibly hindered their ability to make decisions during the storm that could have saved the lives of everyone on board.
