Non-Commercial Aircraft

The majority of plane crashes involve general aviation and smaller planes piloted by non-commercial pilots. Even though the rules for certification and operation for these pilots are less strict, there are still well-defined standards of care. These pilots and aircraft operators are required to operate aircraft safely and maintain them in good repair.
