Aviation Accidents
On October 23rd, 1906, when Alberto Santos Dumont took off with 14-BIS in the skies over France, he did not imagine that his invention would develop so much as to become one of the greatest means of transportation in the world.
In recent decades, the aviation industry has developed a great technological leap. Until the 90s, the cockpit jets were full of pointers and analog instruments. Currently, the aircrafts have glass-cockpit with a variety of systems such as Sinthetic Vision, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System, Traffic Collision Avoidance System, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast, Engine Monitoring and many other technologies that allow you to receive traffic, navigation and meteorology information in real time. But even with all this onboard technology, pilots are essentially the same as they have been over the last 100 years.
It is known that the aviation accidents are typically the result of a chain of events that often culminate with the unsafe acts of operators (aircrew). Training the pilot and all the professionals that form the productive chain of the flight is essential, but not sufficient to ensure the overall safety of air operations.
Unique and unpredictable in nature, the aviation accidents bring traumatic experiences for the insured and their families. Aware of this complex scenario, G&R provides a comprehensive and independent solutions to the aviation insurance market.
