Analysis
of Accidents
Commercial Accidents for 2013
This
Appendix provides a detailed analysis of accidents that occurred in 2013 as
well as a review of accident statistics from the past five years.
The data used in this analysis are for operations involving aircraft providing scheduled commercial air transport having a maximum take-off weight exceeding 5700 kg .
High-Risk Accident Occurrence Categories
Based on an analysis of historic accident data, ICAO identified three high-risk accident occurrence categories:
• Runway
safety related events1
• Loss
of control in-flight (LOC-I)
•
Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT)
ICAO
uses these high-risk accident categories as a baseline in its safety analysis.
As the first chart indicates, these three categories represented 68% of the total number of accidents, 78% of fatal accidents and 80% of all fatalities in 2013.
Fatal accidents and fatalities related to the three high-risk occurrence categories in 2013. Runway safety related accidents accounted for the majority of all accidents during 2013 (62%), but only 6% of all fatalities.
Notable observations from 2013 accidents include:
• Runway
safety related accidents have a resulted in a relatively low number of
fatalities, despite having the highest percentage of accidents.
• While
the loss of control in-flight occurrence category represented only 3% of all
accidents, this category is of significant concern as it accounts for 33% of
all fatal accidents and 60% of all fatalities.
• CFIT accidents
were responsible for 13% of fatalities recorded in 2013 .
