" summary

Commercial aviation carries 4.5 billion passengers on 43 million scheduled flights a year yet 2019 still records 125 accidents and 578 deaths, prompting concrete fixes: adoption of crew resource management after United 173 to stop captain fixation; replacement of faulty pitot tubes and new high-altitude stall training after Air France 447; grounding and redesign of the 737 MAX MCAS after two crashes; and investigations into reverted rubber hydroplaning on short wet runways that exposed latent runway‑spoiler risks.
