A flight incident refers to any event that occurs during a flight that could affect the safety of the aircraft, passengers, or crew. This can include technical malfunctions, turbulence, or medical emergencies. Such incidents are typically documented and investigated to improve safety measures and prevent future occurrences. Flight incidents can range from minor issues, like a passenger feeling unwell, to more serious situations, such as engine failure. Airlines and aviation authorities, like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), closely monitor these events to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to enhance overall flight safety.
