Extract

A thorough investigation is normally made of all the circumstances relating to an air accident. In-flight collisions can be of particular interest and should certainly be studied by doctors and psychologists. The human factor is said to play a part in 55 to 80 per cent of all accidents, and is basically psychological rather than physiological.
