Since 1982, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has regulated the operation of ultralight vehicles under 14 CFR Part 103. Increasing numbers of reports of ultralights being operated in regulated airspace and for nonrecreational purposes made it apparent to the Safety Board that an evaluation of the effectiveness of the FAA's regulatory approach to ultralights was needed. In the absence of a systematic accident data collection process on which to base the analysis, the Safety Board in March 1983 decided to investigate all fatal accidents involving a powered ultralight and other selected powered ultralight accidents, of which 88 involved a total of 93 fatalities. The Safety Board has prepared a report which describes the safety problems identified through analyses of these accidents, explores safety concerns raised by organizations and associations interested in ultralights, and recommends improvements in existing ultralight safety measures, where appropriate.
