Postmortem alcohol production in fatal aircraft accidents.ĭOT National Transportation Integrated Searchĭuring 19, the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) received specimens from 975 victims of fatal aircraft accidents. Although denominator data remain problematic for motorized sports aviation, these aircraft show a high proportion of homebuilt aircraft and, more importantly, a higher relative number of fatal accidents. Homebuilt aircraft are at particular risk in sports aviation. The most frequent occurrences were hard landings and undershoots, of which the numbers differ significantly from one aircraft type to the other. The most common cause of accident in sports aviation was in-flight planning and decision-making (N = 200, 9.4%). The highest number of accidents was found with gliders (N = 991), but the highest relative number of fatal accidents came from ultra-light (45%) and gyroplane operations (40%), which are homebuilt more often than other aircraft types. In addition, the available denominator data from the Federal Aviation Administration were used to interpret the data.
A comparison of accidents in sports aviation was made using 2118 records from the National Transportation Safety Board for the period 1982-2007. A general comparison of aircraft accidents within sports aviation is missing, but should guide future research.
Sports aviation is a special category of general aviation characterized by diverse aircraft types and a predominantly recreational flight operation. Sports aviation accidents: fatality and aircraft specificity.ĭe Voogt, Alexander J van Doorn, Robert R A
