Reshaping the Way We Look at General Aviation Accidents Using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

As part of the Federal Aviation Administration's endeavor to better understand the cause of general aviation (GA) accidents, we previously analyzed nine years (1990-98) of fatal GA accident data using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). The findings, though significant, reflected only about 20% of the total GA accidents that occurred during the time period examined. [Please see presentation for more of the abstract.]
