      Hi,

      Not at all. First there are rules for every airplane and airport in the world issued by ICAO an agency of the United Nations. Secondly everyone is well trained and safety critical people such as pilots nad engineers ahve to be licenced and are tetsed regualraly. Each airline puts a lot of effort into flying their airplanes safely. Then my team checks that they are obeying the rules. When small things go wrong we record it, analyse it and figure ways to stop it from happening again.
