Abstract:

This paper describes characteristics of general aviation (GA) accidents and identifies factors related to the occurrence of a subset of GA accidents attributed to controlled flight into terrain (CFiT). Using NTSB data from the 3 I, 790 aviation accidents that occurred between 1983 and 1994, inclusive, this research identified GA accidents that could be attributed to CFiT. Statistical analyses identified characteristics of GA CFiT accidents that may be useful for the design or modification of terrain-alerting equipment. Approximately one third of the GA accidents in instrument conditions are related to CFiT. Weather condition and pilot age were also strong predictors of the occurrence of CFiT accidents.
