The study updates the cumulative results of the previous 1964-71 study to include the 25/47 collisions/fatalities which occurred during 1972. Of these, two collisions involved air carrier aircraft and accounted for 23 fatalities. The remaining 23/24 collisions/fatalities occurred between general aviation aircraft, and did not involve public air transportation. Included is an analysis of the potential effectiveness of alternative collision avoidance systems coverage in 'preventing' a recurrence of the 296/603 collisions/fatalities between 1964-72. It concludes that 26% of the collisions (6% of fatalities) are systematically unpreventable. The currently existing/planned extensions to the Air Traffic Control system could have prevented 18% of the collisions (51% of fatalities), including all fatal collisions which involved air carriers.
