UK Report: Loss of Control Is Main GA Accident Cause
|
Loss of control in flight (LOC-I) was cited as the “dominant
causal” factor in the majority of general aviation (GA) accidents in the UK
last year, according to the 2017 Annual Safety Review from the UK’s Air
Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). There were 708 occurrence notifications
in 2017 and the AAIB deployed 38 times to conduct field investigations. In 16
cases, they involved fatal accidents that resulted in 28 deaths.
The review analyzes 72 general
aviation fatal accidents that occurred between 2010 and 2015 to “highlight
the most common causes and draw attention to the extensive advice that is
available to help pilots avoid the circumstances that all too often lead to
accidents.” In sharp contrast to GA statistics, the AAIB reported that 2017
was “notable as a year in which there were no fatal accidents involving a
passenger jet airliner anywhere in the world.”
Of the 29 safety recommendations
issued last year, 16 have been addressed and closed, 11 remain open, and
responses for two are pending AAIB classification. The review does not break
down GA accidents by engine type or purpose of flight. Also, air taxi
business jets are not separated from the commercial air transport category.
But, according to AIN
research, there were no serious or fatal accidents involving business
turboprops or jets in the UK last year.
