The Legislative Deficiencies of the Grave Flight Accident Crime and Its Improvement

The captain in YICHUN air crash was publicly indicted attracting the attention to and study of the Grave Flight Accident Crime. Grace Flight Accident Crime has some legislative problems. The crime name is not appropriate,which cannot clearly show that this crime is only applicable to the airmen in violation of the rules and regulations leading to accidents. The crime description is not accurate,while the relationship between the"grave flight accident"and"serious consequences"is not clear,and lacks the interpretation. The scope of the crime is limited,which is limited to the plane excluding other aircrafts,and the legal punishment regulations is confusing. This study made suggestions accordingly to amend the crime name by replacing"plane" with "aircraft",expand the crime scope,and modify the legal punishment rules in order to improve the terms of the Grave Flight Accident Crime,and promote the development of China's aviation safety.
