- Fatigue has left pilots drunk with exhaustion, causing fatal accidents and costing hundreds of people their lives, so why is the industry ignoring the issue?
- Engineering error is an airline's worst nightmare. Hundreds of people killed, billions of dollars wasted because a plane was badly made. Every crash is a lesson to be heeded but sometimes lessons are ignored. Sometimes solutions lead to disasters engineers just don't foresee.
- "Maintenance Failure" 15 March 2012 Disasters included: British Airways Flight 5390, Southwest Airlines Flight 812, Japan Air Lines Flight 123.
- Pilot Error: Have airlines made flying more risky by trying to eliminate human error.
- Fire on Board tells the dramatic story - It starts in 2007 on packed China Airlines flight 120, as a raging fire takes hold of the plane. If the passengers are going to escape in time it will depend on whether the lessons of the past have been learnt. One of those lessons comes from a disaster at Manchester airport in 1985, where 55 people perish in a massive uncontrollable fire.
- Modern technology has enabled aircraft to fly in appalling weather conditions. But extreme weather can push pilots and aircraft to their limits and beyond with terrible consequences. Dangerous weather is responsible for one in three air crashes.
- In Canada on 12th December 1985, a plane crashed less than 1 mile after take-off. All 256 passengers onboard died, but what caused this aircraft tragedy?
- Landing without power, running out of fuel or birds flying into the engine are all a test of pilot skill and nerve. How do pilots cope with emergency landings?
- How did a routine landing for a Boeing 777 go so terribly wrong, with three fatalities and many injured - was it a mechanical fault or pilot error?
- In 1998 the public were promised a first-look at the Airbus A320, a revolutionary airplane. The first commercial fly-by-wire plane crashed - but how and why?
- A deadly force in the Sierra Nevada mountains has claimed countless lives. What makes this particular area so dangerous for people travelling by air?
- Airplane collisions are an incredibly rare but devastating event. With so much free space to manoeuvre and airspace tightly controlled, how do they happen?
