The National Transportation Safety Board concluded in a 1980 study that the bush pilot syndrome was a major factor contributing to a non fatal air taxi accident rate four times higher and a fatal rate more than double the rest of the United States. During 1981-1982, the Alaskan Aviation Safety Foundation completed and published a study titled Definition of Alaskan Aviation Training Requirements. The researchers used Flannigan's critical incident technique. The respondents reported that strict management supervision was the key to controlling the bush pilot syndrome. In addition, observations by the researchers revealed that air taxi operators who hired pilots using a careful screening process, provided thorough training, and remunerated pilots with a rewarding salary and benefit package seemed to have less turnover and fewer accidents.
