The NTSB has introduced an interactive graphic tool enabling researchers to visualize data about general aviation (GA) accident investigations over a 10-year period. The general aviation accident dashboard provides summary statistics, investigative findings, and safety recommendations for 12,368 completed and ongoing GA accident investigations from 2012 through 2021.

Dashboard users can obtain accident reports and statistics by selecting filters for year of accident, location, phase of flight, defining event (such as CFIT or runway excursion), and type of flight, including selections for accidents involving personal and business aircraft and corporate/executive aircraft. There are also preset filters for commonly sought-after findings such as those dealing with aircraft control, engine issues, and weather.
