Technical systems are essential for the safe and reliable operation of aircraft. These include propulsion systems such as jet engines, piston engines or electrical flight control systems, navigation, communication and safety systems, etc.
A system can only operate correctly and safely when it has been developed, manufactured and maintained in accordance with the specified standards. The chapter on aviation technology covers not only incidents involving technical aircraft systems, but also the development, production and maintenance of aircraft and the related technology.
Please note that the remarks in this chapter are based on the number of reported occurrences for aircraft registered in Switzerland.
