Mid-air collision
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2009) |
In aviation, a mid-air collision is an accident in which two or more aircraft come into unplanned contact during flight.[1]
The potential for a mid-air collision is increased by miscommunication, mistrust, error in navigation, deviations from flight plans, lack of situational awareness, and the lack of collision-avoidance systems. Although a rare occurrence in general due to the vastness of open space available, collisions often happen near or at airports, where large volumes of aircraft are spaced more closely than in general flight.
