SAFETY SPOTLIGHT STATISTICS IN A SNAP BY ASI STAFF ARE YOU INTERESTED IN KEEPING A TAB ON CERTAIN GENERAL AVIATION ACCIDENT STATISTICS? YOU CAN NOW ACCESS "Major Accident Causes" in the AOPA Air Safety Institute's Accident Analysis section online (airsafetyinstitute.org/accidentanalysis). The statistical graphs cover nine major elements: decision making; takeoffs, landings, and go-arounds; mechanical and maintenance; maneuvering flight; descent and approach; fuel mismanagement; stalls; collision avoidance; and weather. Some categories drill down deeper. For example, while the main takeoffs graph provides the total number of takeoff accidents, its subcategory-listed at the bottom of the page-breaks these down by accident type, such as loss of control, delayed abort, runway conditions, etc. Data are updated each April to be current through the end of the preceding calendar year, covering the most recent 10-year period for which the National Transportation Safety Board's investigations are reasonably complete.http://www.airsafetyinstitute.org/accident-analysis http://www.airsafetyinstitute.org/accident-analysis
