Pennsylvania Airplane Equipment Malfunction Attorneys
If something goes wrong with an automobile system or part, many lives may be endangered. In the air, however, an airplane equipment malfunction threatens the lives of potentially hundreds onboard and even more on the ground. Both situations are tragic and can have an enormous impact on the lives of those affected, but the scope of an airplane accident can be significantly larger. Beyond that, an airplane crash often leaves no survivors, whereas many car accidents are not fatal.

Common Airplane Malfunctions
Airplanes are incredibly complex machines that require sophisticated technology to operate safely. The large number of moving parts and instruments means that equipment malfunctions are inevitable, even when a plane is properly maintained. Some examples of equipment malfunction are clearly dangerous, while others may seem harmless at first but prove disastrous upon closer inspection. A few of the malfunctions known to have occurred in modern aircraft include:
- Landing gear failing to deploy or to lock in the fully extended position
- Autopilot malfunction preventing the pilots from controlling the plane
- Engine compressor failure
- Warning light and instrument failures
