Abstract
As aviation moves into its second century, aircraft accidents still occur, though at a very low rate. With that said, the rate of pilot-related accidents in General Aviation (GA) has not decreased when compared against the rate of mechanical-related accidents in GA. According to the 2010 Nall Report, the number of GA aircraft accidents that were pilot-related made up for 73.9% (857 accidents), mechanical-related accidents made up for 15.0% (174 accidents) and other unknown causes made up for 11.1% (129 accidents) of all accidents that year (Kenny, 2011). According to Kenny (2011), “Most pilot-related accidents reflect specific failures of flight planning or decision-making or the characteristic hazards of high-risk phases of flight.” As pilot-related accident rates continue to be higher than mechanical-related accidents, exploration and experimentation is being conducted to look for new ways to address this issue.
