The National Transportation Safety Board has explored the factors associated with 17,312 general aviation accidents which occurred from 1972 through 1976 involving 17,498 light, single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft. These aircraft accounted for 81.0 percent of the accidents, 76.0 percent of the fatal accidents and 69.2 percent of the fatalities involving general aviation aircraft during that period. The factors examined included aircraft make, model, configuration -- such as tailwheel or tricycle landing gear and high- or low-wing configuration -- the pilot, and the environment. Certain aircraft makes, models, and characteristics were shown to be associated with high accident rates.
