KEY: R = revised.
a Air carriers operating under 14 CFR 135, scheduled service.
Includes accidents involving all-cargo air carriers when those accidents
occurred during scheduled 14 CFR 135 operations. Before Mar. 20, 1997, 14 CFR
135 applied to aircraft with 30 or fewer seats. Since Mar. 20, 1997, 14 CFR 135 includes
only aircraft with fewer than 10 seats. This change makes it difficult to
compare pre-1997 data with more recent years' data.
b Data updated by rounding to two significant digits instead
of one.
c Rates are based on all accidents, including
some that involve operators not reporting mileage or other traffic data to
the U.S. Department of Transportation.
d Total fatalities for 1991 do not include the
22 persons killed aboard an airliner when it and a commuter aircraft
collided.
e An attempted suicide case
in 1992 is included in accidents but excluded in accident rates in this
table.
NOTES
Miles, departures, and 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.
