CFI Workshop 5 Core Topic 9 Safety Trends in General Aviation
Objective • Review recent accident statistics • Examine common accident causes • Explore recent safety innovations
The Nall Report http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/nall.html
Definitions • Aircraft Accident - an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight and until such time as all such persons have disembarked, and in which any person suffers death or serious injury, or in which the aircraft receives substantial damage.
Definitions • Substantial Damage- damage or failure which adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and which would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component. Engine failure or damage limited to an engine if only one engine fails or is damaged, bent fairings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured holes in the skin or fabric, ground damage to rotor or propeller blades, and damage to landing gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories, brakes, or wing tips are not considered substantial damage for the purpose of this order.
Definitions • Serious Injury- any injury which: (1) requires hospitalization for more than 48-hours, commencing within 7-days from the date an injury was received; (2) results in a fracture of any bone (except simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose); (3) causes severe hemorrhages, or nerve, muscle, or tendon damage; (4) involves any internal organ; or (5) involves second- or third-degree burns, or any burns affecting more than 5-percent of the body surface.

Famous Last Words in Aviation • “Watch this!” • “Why is it doing that?!” • “Where are we?” • “I’ve never seen that before…” • “No problem, we can make it.” • “We’ve got plenty of room/fuel.” • “Sure, if it fits through the door we can take it.” • “Oh <BLEEP>!!!!!!!!” Can you think of some more?
