A controlled-flight-into-terrain accident (CFIT) is any collision with terrain (or water) in which the pilot was in control of the aircraft but was not aware of the airplane's altitude, the terrain elevation, or the airplane's position in terms of latitude or longitude. This report describes the characteristics of general aviation (GA) accidents and identifies factors related to the occurrence of controlled-flight-into-terrain (CFIT) accidents in GA. This study used the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) database of 31,790 aviation accidents that occurred between 1983 and 1994, inclusive. In the NTSB aviation accident database, 86.7% of these accidents were GA accidents. This study analyzed the subset of accidents involving GA airplanes and helicopters.
