NTSB RELEASES 2007 AVIATION ACCIDENT STATISTICS: GA Fatalities down 30%!
http://www.ntsb.gov/Pressrel/2008/080416.html
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 16, 2008 SB-08-14 NTSB RELEASES 2007 AVIATION ACCIDENT STATISTICS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Washington, D.C. - The National Transportation Safety Board today released preliminary aviation accident statistics for 2007. "The U.S. aviation industry has produced an admirable safety record in recent years," said NTSB Chairman Mark V. Rosenker. "However, we must not become complacent. We must continue to take the lessons learned from our investigations and use them to create even safer skies for all aircraft operators and their passengers." The Safety Board's aviation accident statistics show that in 2007, there were 24 nonfatal accidents involving Part 121 airlines (aircraft with 10 or more seats). One fatality occurred involving a nonscheduled Part 121 aircraft when a mechanic was fatally injured while working on a Boeing 737 in Tunica, Mississippi. No fatalities occurred among Part 135 commuter operators (fewer than 10 seats). However, on-demand (charters, air taxis, air tours and medical services when a patient is on board) Part 135 operations reported 43 fatalities (62 accidents, 14 fatal accidents), up from the 16 fatalities that occurred in 2006. While the overall number of general aviation accidents rose from 1,518 in 2006 to 1,631 in 2007, the number of fatalities in 2007 was down from 703 to 491 (a 30 percent decrease), making it the lowest annual total in more than 40 years. Foreign registered aircraft accounted for 11 accidents in the U.S. in 2007, with 3 fatalities from a single fatal accident. Of the 14 accidents involving unregistered aircraft, 6 were fatal and resulted in 7 fatalities. The 2007 statistical tables are found at http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/Stats.htm. NTSB Media Contact: Bridget Ann Serchak (202) 314-6100 NTSB REPORTS SUBSTANTIAL DROP IN GA FATALITIES (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#197665) ... The overall number of GA accidents was up, rising from 1,518 in 2006 to 1,631 in 2007. Estimated flight hours were down slightly, and the overall accident rate per 100,000 flight hours showed a slight increase. |

Larry: Thanks for posting reports from the NTSB for those of us who don't have access to the internet. The interpretation in your posting line is incorrect or at best misleading: according to the data you presented, the number of accidents was actually higher this past year, and the incidence of these accidents was also higher. On a percentage basis it's true there were less fatal accidents, but overall there were more accidents in less flying hours. This hardly supports the glowing endorsement that it appears you're trying to convey. The FAILED Aviation Administration hides behind smoke and mirror accident statistics In reality, the National Airspace system is becoming more dangerous as the FAA continues their plummet into the abyss It will get worse until it gets better or until the FAA is disbanded and we start over |
