Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of general aviation aircraft in transportation during the past decade has increased rapidly. Possibly more passengers are transported annually in general aviation aircraft than in all commercial air carriers combined. Investigations of general aviation aircraft accidents believed to be survivable indicate that the causes and types of injuries and fatalities are not different from those documented 30 to 40 years ago. However, improvements in the crashworthiness of automobiles during the past decade has been documented through a reduction of the fatality-to-injury ratios. Such improvement in general aviation aircraft crashworthiness has been sought by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Civil Aeronautics Board, and others for more than 35 years. This report reviews past accident investigations, regulatory developments, and crashworthiness research activities, and assesses the adequacy of current general aviation crashworthiness requirements. As a result of this review, recommendations for improved crashworthiness of general aviation aircraft are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second in a series of reports to be issued by the National Transportation Safety Board as a result of its General Aviation Crashworthiness program. The purpose of this program is to provide information to support changes in crashworthiness design standards for seating and restraint systems in general aviation airplanes. A Phase One report presented a methodology for documenting impact severity. This Phase Two report presents specific data on survivable accidents. The data developed in this study suggest that the survivable enveloe is defined by impact speeds of 45 knots at 90 degrees of impact angle, 60 knots at 45 degrees, and 75 knots at zero degrees. Data are presented which demonstrate that if all occupants wear shoulder harnesses, fatalities are expected to be reduced by 20 percent and 88 percent of the seriously injured persons in survivable crashes are expected to experience significantly fewer life-threatening injuries. Thirty-four ercent of the seriously injured occupants of survivable accidents are expected to be less seriously injured if energy-absorbing seats are available.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is an illustrated commentary on crash survival in general aviation aircraft. Photographs, drawings, and discussion present some basic concepts of crash forces; mechanisms of injury to occupants; and the roles of shoulder harnesses, lapbelts, and seats in attenuating crash forces. Findings in a number of accidents relate seats and restraints to the fate of the occupants. The report is designed to inform the reader of the value of good restraints in crashes of general aviation aircraft. Also it will serve to orient Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) personnel and others to a set of projection slides that may be used wholly or in part in safety presentations to pilots and aviation groups. The projection slides, duplicates of the photographs and drawings in this report, are available from the Aeromedical Education Branch of the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of an effort to develop a method of analysis of the structural response of general aviation airplane subjected to a crash environment are presented. A review and evaluation of 8491 obtained from National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) tapes are presented. Eighteen (18) accident cases from the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) files are discussed. The performance parameters and structural design characteristics associated with 61 general aviation airplane models are used to establish several airplane categories for light fixed-wing aircraft. An accident data computer program, developed by the Cessna Aircraft Company, is presented. The requirements for performing computerized crash analysis of general aviation airplanes during probable accident conditions are described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the deregulation of commercial airlines in 1978, the United States airline industry has changed dramatically. Route entry and exit flexibility, as well as fare setting have stimulated competition, forcing airlines to emphasize cost control, increased productivity, and effective marketing. How have these changes in both public and private policies influenced airline safety? Do airplanes have more accidents now than ever before? 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. Clearly written, this careful and systematic analysis of well over 15,000 individual aviation accidents will provide greater insight for government officials, aviation industrymanagers, and researchers, as well as laypeople and other frequent flyers.
