Description

Barry Leonard (ed). “Public aircraft” are aircraft operated for the purpose of fulfilling a government function that meet certain conditions specified under Title 49 U.S. Code, Section 40102(a)(37). The Nat. Transport. Safety Board identified 341 public aircraft accidents that occurred during the years 1993-2000. Using activity data from the FAA, the board calculated an accident rate of 3.66 accidents per 100,000 flight hours for nonmilitary, non-intelligence public aircraft. Using activity date from the GSA, the Board calculated an accident rate of 4.58 per 100,000 flight hours for nonmilitary, non-intelligence Fed. aircraft. Both rates were lower than the general aviation accident rate of 7.1 accidents per 100,000 flight hours, but higher than the accident rate for air taxis. Tables.
