Abstract:

The purpose of this report is to describe the characteristics of general aviation (GA) accidents and to identify factors

related to the occurrence of controlled-flight-into-terrain (CFIT) accidents in GA.

This study used the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) database of 31,790 aviation accidents that occurred

between 1983 and 1994, inclusive. In the NTSB aviation accident database, 86.7% of these accidents were GA accidents.

This study analyzed the subset of accidents involving GA airplanes and helicopters to investigate possible factors in

CFIT accidents to guide further analyses and design of experiments to improve pilots' ability to avoid collisions with

terrain.
