Nall Report"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute (ASI) has released its 32nd edition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aopa.org\/training-and-safety\/air-safety-institute\/accident-analysis\/joseph-t-nall-report\">Joseph T. Nall Report<\/a>, which covers calendar year 2020. The report\u2019s digital platform provides near real-time accident data that are updated on a rolling 30-day cycle, accelerating the analysis process, and allowing for the most current snapshot of general aviation safety performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report notes a decrease in total accidents from 1,167 in\n2019 to 1,051 in 2020. The 10-year average is 1,223 accidents each year.\nOverall accident rates decreased from 4.87 per 100,000 flight hours to 4.69 and\nthe fatal accident rate decreased from 0.89 to 0.83 from 2019 to 2020,\nrespectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, non-commercial fixed-wing accidents decreased\nslightly with the fatal accident rate declining to 0.92 and the total accident\nrate decreasing to 5.27. Helicopter accidents\u2014both commercial and\nnon-commercial\u2014saw relatively flat fatal accident rates from 2019 to 2020, but\noverall accident rates decreased. Weather-related accidents remain highly\nlethal, but overall weather accidents sharply decreased in 2020, and\nmaneuvering accidents\u2014another area with high lethality\u2014 saw a substantial\ndecrease in fatal accidents reaching a 10-year low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn area where we see some discouragement is the commercial\nfixed-wing total accident rate, which rose following two years of decline,\u201d\nsaid Robert Geske, AOPA Air Safety Institute manager of aviation safety\nanalysis. Geske continued, \u201cWe are also disappointed to see the number of fatal\nfuel-related accidents, which has remained steady at an average of eight per\nyear for several years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, landing accidents continue to remain the leading\ntype of accidents, but thankfully they account for the lowest number of fatal\naccidents,\u201d Geske concluded. Descent and approach accidents rose in both\noverall and fatal accidents, with stall\/spin accidents accounting for the\nlargest number of fatal accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ASI\u2019s summaries for a given period provide insight and\ncomparisons of selected dates versus previous years. Please review the\nsummaries for a detailed analysis of trends and rates for non-commercial and\ncommercial fixed-wing operations, non-commercial and commercial helicopter\noperations, and sport\/experimental operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View the 32nd Joseph T.
