Airplanes fly very high at amazing speeds. Because of this, the weather or a small problem could lead to a major accident. There are many things done to ensure air safety. When an airplane flies more than a certain number of hours it goes to the maintenance area for inspection. Also, before a flight, mechanics make an inspection, and the pilot checks the tires and the engine.
The airplane takes orders from the air traffic controllers in the control tower while it is flying up in the sky along the flight path. The control center gets information from the flight path radar and the weather radar. By telling the pilot this information the plane is able to fly safely. The pilot receives exact instructions on how he should fly the plane. In addition, there is equipment which transmits radio waves to the airplane which indicates the flight path, and there are antennas set up all around the country which carry important information and the instructions of the air traffic controllers in order to ensure a safe flight. Airplanes can only fly safely with the support and help of the this kind of equipment and the instructions of the air traffic controllers, and the safety information from the control center and the airport.
