Aviation Occurrence Statistics 2003 to 2012

ATSB-AR-2013-067 Aviation Occurrence Statistics 2003 to 2012

Thousands of safety occurrences involving Australian-registered and foreign aircraft are reported
to the ATSB every year by individuals and organisations in Australia’s aviation industry, and by the
public. The aim of the ATSB’s statistical report series is to give information back to pilots,
operators, regulators, and other aviation industry participants on what accidents and incidents
have happened, how often they are happening, and what we can learn from them.

In 2012, there were 107 accidents, 195 serious incidents, and over 7,300 incidents reported to the
ATSB involving Australian (VH— registered) aircraft, and a further 570 occurrences that involved
foreign-registered aircraft operating within Australia or its airspace.

Commercial air transport aircraft were involved in the majority of incidents reported each year, and
in 2012 the most common safety incidents reported were animal strikes, non-compliance with
publish information or air traffic control instructions, and aircraft system and airframe issues. Most
accidents and serious incidents related to reduced aircraft separation and engine malfunction.

General aviation aircraft, such as aircraft conducting flying training, aerial work, or private/pleasure
flying, were involved in 38 per cent of occurrences reported to the ATSB in 2012. Airspace
incursions, compliance with air traffic control, and birdstrikes were the most common incidents
reported, with most accidents and serious incidents involving terrain collisions, engine failures,
and a loss of aircraft control. Private/business operations had the highest number of fatal
accidents in 2012 out of any year in the last 10 years, with 15 fatal accidents resulting in 22
fatalities. In contrast, commercial aerial work operations recorded the lowest number of accidents
in the past 10 years.

In most operation types, helicopters had a higher rate of accidents and fatal accidents than
aeroplanes.

A new addition to the ATSB’s aviation statistics are data on recreational (non—VH) aircraft safety.
In 2012, the majority of the 274 occurrences reported were controlled airspace incursions, engine
malfunctions, aircraft control problems, and runway events such as veer-offs.

Over the past 10 years, aerial agriculture had the most accidents and fatal accidents per hour
flown, followed by private/business operations. Aerial survey and aerial mustering had the next
highest accident and fatal accident rates.
