FOREWORD

This report contains U.S. General Aviation corporate/executive accident Briefs arranged in state and date order. In addition, this publication includes several statistical tables which tabulate and summarize selected accident information, such as type of accident, phase of operation, injuries, cause/factors and pi lot certificates.

In 1973, U.S. General Aviation corporate/executive aircraft flew 3,399,600 hours and were involved in 94 accidents of which 24 were fatal, resulting in total and fatal accident rates per 100,000 hours of 2.76 and 0.7, respectively. In comparison, the entire General Aviation fleet incurred 4,255 total accidents and 723 fatal accidents while flying 30,048,000 hours, giving it total and fatal accident rates per 100,000 hours of 14.2 and 2.40, respectively.

The enclosed computer briefs are the reports of the National Transportation Board and thereby subject to the limitations of 49 USC 1441 (e) which states:

"(e) No part of any report or reports of the Board relating to any accident or the investigation thereof, shall be admitted as evidence or used in any suit or action for damages growing out of any matter mentioned in such report or reports."

In these reports, it should be borne in mind that they are reproduced direc f ro:m coded records on magnetic tape by electronic data processing equipment Ahm ,, r reading the text, it must be borne in mind that computer _language is utilize\1 requiring a number of abbreviations due to spacing limitations. Caution shnuld bv:?; exercised in reading the Briefs of Accidents, especially those containing abbrit:wiations in phrases and sentences.

Collisi.ons between aircraft are treated as one accident. A coded analysis is done on each aircraft involved in a collision. This produces two aircraft accident records accident. Consequently, when compiling information on accidents involving collisions between aircraft, the number of accident records will exceed the number of accidents.

The Briefs of Accidents contain the essential information which fulfill most of persons using these reports. However, for those having a need for

more detailed infornta.tion, the original factual reports are on file in the Washington Office of the National Transportation Safety Board. Upon request, these reports will be reproduced commercially for a fee to cover reproduction and postage. The cost will be assessed per printed page, and photographs will be reproduced.

Copies of material ordered will be mailed from the Washington business firm that holds the current contract for coxmnercial reproduction of the Board's public files,, Billing is also direct to you by the same company.

Orders for this material also involve a user service charge by the Safety Board for services. This charge is in addition to the cost for- commercial reproduction

of material and will be. included in the bill from the commercial reproduction firm.

Requests for tion should be forwarded to the:

EXPLANATORY NOTES

'rype of Accident: The type of acc_ident relates to the circumstanees involved in the accident. Briefly, it indicates ~ happened.

Phase of Operation: The phase of operation relates to the particular segment of the flight or operation during which the circumstances of the accident occur. In other words, ~ in the flight the eircumstances took place.

First and Second Type of Accident: Two separate types may be coded in any one accident. The selection of first and second type is made in relation to the sequence of occurrence.

In those occurrences wherein more than two types or circumstances are .involved, the selection of types is made considering the circumstances which may be of the greatest value from the standpoint of safety study. In such cases the two types selected are coded as first and second according to sequence of occurrence.

A secondary type is not normally use~ when the·occurrence is the inevitable result of a prior occurrence resulting in the loss of control. Generally this pertains to collisions with ground or objects.

First and Second Phase of Operation: The phase of operation is directly related to the type of accident. When more than one type is coded for an accident, each type will have a corresponding phase. In other words, the first phase of operation will be that phase of flight in which the first type or circumstance occurred. In the event that the first and second type both occur in one operational phase, the same phase is coded twice.

Cause and Related Factors: In determining the probable cause of an accident, all facts, conditions and circumstances are considered. For statistical purposes, where two or more causes exist in an accident, each is recorded and no attempt is made to establish a primary cause. Therefore, in the Cause and Related Factor Table, the figures shown in the columns dealing with Cause will exceed the total number of accidents. The term Factor is used, in general, to reflect those elements of an accident whi.ch further explain or supplement the probable cause(s). This provision was incorporated in the coding system to increase its flexibility and to provide a means for collecting essential items of information which could not be readily categorized elsewher·e in the system.
