Airplane is considered to be the most safe mode of transportation.
Looking at the airliners and their operation where they fly 24/7 all
over the world, seldom some crash happens.

Airplane crashes, professionally piloted or otherwise, make the news
because they are rare. Dog bites man - no news. Man Bites Dog - Big
News. Hazard a guess as to how many car accidents occurred in your
county yesterday? Or how many car fatalities in your county last month?
How many people died in plane crashes in your county in the past 10 years?


What is the root cause and problem in general aviation regarding safety,
crashing, etc?

By and large, pilot/human error, the same main factor in automobile crashes.


Shouldn't the standards be the same and are they the same in terms of
flying, rules and equipment.

Comparing airliners to private planes, and the rules involved is
actually like comparing commercial transportation to personal cars (and
their rules..).

Commercial aviation is more regulated, requires professional crews
(usually 2 very experienced pilots). Commercial trucks/busses are
likewise more regulated (Commercial drivers license, DOT inspections,
etc). Even with ground transportation, not everyone has the same
rulebook. But aviation still has the equivalent of a 16 year old novice
driver fresh out of driver's ed. We all have to start somewhere.

Basically, I wonder, what is going on and most importantly what to do to
correct it?
Go look in the mirror. You are then looking at the person who is
ultimately responsible for your safety and well being. The person most
likely to be injured or killed in a vehicle accident (air or ground)
operated by you, IS yourself.
