KEY: N = data do not exist; R = revised.
a Air carriers operating under
14 CFR 121, scheduled and nonscheduled service. Includes all scheduled and
nonscheduled service accidents involving all-cargo carriers and commercial
operators of large aircraft when those accidents occurred during 14 CFR 121
operations. Since Mar. 20, 1997, 14 CFR 121 includes aircraft with 10 or more
seats formerly operated under 14 CFR 135. This change makes it difficult to
compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent data.
b Does not include the 12
persons killed aboard a SkyWest commuter aircraft when it and a U.S. Air
aircraft collided.
c Other than the persons
aboard the aircraft who were killed, fatalities resulting from the September
11 terrorist acts are excluded.
NOTE
Miles, departures, and flight hours are compiled by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration. Rates are
computed by dividing the number of fatalities, serious injuries, total
accidents, and fatal accidents by the number of miles, departures, or flight
hours. These figures are based on
information provided by airlines to the U.S. Department of Transportation,
Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Bureau of Transportation
Statistics, Office of Airline Information.
