The report is Volume I in studies of aviation accidents. The emphasis is on general aviation, but Part 135 and 121 operations are also discussed. It is a review of the literature of sources of aviation accident and exposure data and of selected factors affecting safety in aviation. Among topics covered are: epidemiological studies, weather factors, induced pilot error and the stall accident. It is believed that improved aerodynamic design, using available knowledge, could reduce stall/spin accidents by 10%. Weather is a primary cause in about 18% of all accidents and in 32% of fatal accidents, and is a major contributor to accidents of general and commercial aviation. Alcohol is now involved in about 5% of pilots who are fatally injured, but about 12% have used therapeutic drugs and 3% illicit drugs.
