General aviation maintenance-related accidents: A review of 10 years of NTSB data

[摘要] NTSB accident investigation reports for general aviation accidents occurring between 1988 and 1997 were analyzed in order to provide a descriptive look at ten years worth of accident data. This sample included 1,503 reports, all of which indicated at least one maintenance-related issue as a cause or factor in the accident. Initial analyses describe the frequency of occurrence for type of maintenance task and type of aircraft. Accidents were compared on frequency of occurrence, number of fatalities, and number of serious injuries. Odds for each variable resulting in a fatality or injury are reported.
