Pourquoi les avions tombent
Alain Lasfargues
2003 - 52 min - DV Cam & Beta num - Couleur et Noir & Blanc - France

The documentary investigates how aeroplane manufactures and airlines go about reducing the risk of aeroplane accidents. It starts by taking us on a tour of the Airbus and Boeing production lines, where we learn about the numerous checks and certification procedures required producing these near-perfect machines. It turns out the pilot is not in sole charge of his plane: the computer decides whether or not to accept his orders and pass them on to the controls.
