Fatal Fixed-wing Genav Accident Rates Reach New Lows
AOPA's Nall report found non-commercial fixed-wing fatal accidents fell below one per 100,000 flights hours.

Non-commercial fixed-wing fatal accidents have reached new lows, a mark that the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Air Safety Institute credits at least in part to a strong industry/government collaborative effort to boost general aviation safety. AOPA’s ASI released the 25th Joseph T. Nall Report this month, finding that for the first time in the report’s history, non-commercial fixed-wing fatal accidents fell below one per 100,000 flight hours. That rate occurred in 2013, which was the most recent complete set of accident data and findings that the ASI could track for the 25th edition of the Nall report.
