This publication presents a statistical compilation and review of accidents that occurred in 1999 involving aircraft operated by U.S. air carriers. In addition to providing accident statistics for 1999, the review also includes general economic and aviation indicators that may have influenced aircraft activity for 1999 as well as contextual accident data from several years preceding the reporting period. This review covers accidents involving aircraft operated by U.S. air carriers under Title 14, Parts 121 and 135, of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Air carriers are generally defined as operators that fly aircraft in revenue service. Title 14, also known as the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), describes operating requirements in Part 121 and Part 135. Briefly stated, Part 121 applies to major airlines and cargo carriers that fly large transport-category aircraft while Part 135 applies to commercial air carriers commonly referred to as commuter airlines (i.e., scheduled Part 135) and air taxis (i.e., nonscheduled Part 135).
