Book excerpt: Abstract: Public aircraft" are aircraft operated for the purpose of fulfilling a government function that meet certain conditions specified under Title 49 United States Code, Section 40102(a)(37). The Safety Board identified 341 public aircraft accidents that occurred during the years 1993-2000. Using activity data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (for the period 1996-1999), the Board calculated an accident rate of 3.66 accidents per 100,000 flight hours for nonmilitary, nonintelligence public aircraft. Using activity data from the General Services Administration (also for the period 1996-1999%), the Board calculated an accident rate of 4.58 per 100,000 flight hours for nonmilitary, nonintelligence Federal aircraft. Both rates were lower than the general aviation accident rate (7.2 accidents per 100,000 flight hours), but higher than the accident rate for air taxis (3.47), scheduled Part 14 CFR 135 operations (1.06), or 14 CFR Part 121 operations (0.30). Comparisons between public and general aviation accidents revealed similar proportions of broad causal factors. However, accidents in these two sectors differed in other ways. A higher proportion of public aircraft crashed during local flights, at off-airport locations, and during maneuvering phases of flight. Also, accident-involved public aircraft pilots were more likely than accident-involved general aviation pilots to hold advanced ratings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information concerning the use, maintenance, and safety of public aircraft in Alaska, and the extent to which Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety regulations apply to these aircraft. Public aircraft are those that federal, state, or local governments use exclusively. GAO found that: (1) public aircraft throughout the United States are subject to substantially fewer FAA safety regulations than civil aircraft; (2) during fiscal year (FY) 1985, the federal government operated 99 of the 140 government-owned aircraft in Alaska, the state operated 46, and local governments operated 9; (3) more than one-half of the governmental units hired aircraft in FY 1985; and (4) public aircraft functions include transportation of personnel and cargo, search and rescue, fire fighting, and wildlife surveys. GAO noted that: (1) federal law does not require an independent party to report or investigate public aircraft accidents; (2) FAA has no responsibility for inspecting or otherwise overseeing public aircraft maintenance or operation; and (3) there was no historical database from which to make an informed assessment of public aircraft safety. GAO also found that: (1) all government units owning aircraft and nearly all hired-aircraft operators said that since they voluntarily met or exceeded FAA aircraft maintenance and crew regulations, required compliance would cause no adverse effects; and (2) in 1985, there were five accidents involving government-owned aircraft and four involving government-hired aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the causes of airplane accidents and what private and public policies are needed to improve aviation safety. It begins by examining the safety record of the United States commuter airline industry in the post-deregulation era characterized by increased emphasis by airlines on cost control and growing pressures on the air traffic control and airport system. The authors go beyond the safety of the scheduled airlines to examine the reasons for accidents in the nonscheduled and general aviation segments of the United States industry, where the bulk of fatalities occur and where airline pilots increasingly receive most of their training and experience. They then turn to an examination of aviation safety throughout the world, first with a detailed comparison of Canadian and American aviation safety, and then with a look at air safety in all regions of the world and the safety performances of all the world's major airlines. Three emerging issues are then examined in greater detail: assessing the margin of safety, worldwide aging of all airline fleets, and terrorism.
