irishpilot Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Aviators, This is a great initial read posted last year by the FAA. Bottom line, reducing accident trends is a collaborative effort that I hope we can help contribute to. Bottom line from the article, leading causes of fatal accidents are: 1. loss of control inflight 2. CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) 3. Engine-related (failure, or partial power loss) I plan to pull the NTSB files for all fatal Mooney accidents for 2018, and work backwards. I don't think there are enough final reports out for 2019, but I'll take a quick look. Once I have stats, on Mooney leading causes of fatal mishaps, I'll post them here. https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=21274 Fly Safe, Safety Forum Mod 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 IP, There is a thread around here where somebody made it really easy to sift through the accident reports by all kinds of interesting details... I Put together the things I was interested in just to test their work... I looked up all Ovation accidents over the last 25 years... They all showed up... Let me know if you need a hand searching for that... Unfortunately I don’t remember enough detail, or I would point you towards it.
