    Commercial planes you mean. Private planes come down from time to time and they don’t get as much coverage. Even with this, commercial planes come down so rarely that usually it’s a technical error and not the fault of the pilots.

    Few cars crash because if technical error, it’s more driver error.

      They usually don’t let 18yo (or younger) drunk people fly after just a short license course.

      They also don’t let 95yo semi-blind people fly.

      And road ragers are also rarely allowed to pilot a commercial plane.
