Explained in plain English
What happens if rules are broken?
When aviation rules are broken, like those for aircraft maintenance or safety checks, it can lead to serious incidents, as potentially seen with Ljubisa Karovic's broken window. Investigations follow, often by bodies like the Air Accidents Investigation Branch. Consequences can range from hefty fines for airlines to grounding aircraft, and even criminal charges for individuals responsible for negligence.
