dominated the phase of flight, although
this category suffers few fatal accidents.
Loss of control, mainly directional control,
contributed the most in this phase.
As pilots, we need to continuously focus
on stick and rudder skills along with creating
realistic training scenarios that better
prepare us for these types of loss of control
events.
In terms of the most lethal, weather
accidents lead for a second year in a row,
followed closely by maneuvering. Roughly
80 percent of weather accidents were
fatal, which speaks to a pilot's underestimation
of the reality associated with
Mother Nature. VFR flight into IMC was
the leading cause of weather accidents.
These largely avoidable accidents remain
despite industry efforts to help pilots better
understand the dangers associated with
flight into adverse weather.

simply repeat your routine, but advance
your abilities. Whether adding another
rating or certificate, hone your skills, stay

Additionally, fly regularly with an instructor,
not just when it's required for a flight review.

AOPA PILOT / February 2024
Our goal as pilots and our duty to passengers
is to be proficient in the aircraft we fly.
Aside from being capable of operating the
craft, we need to know when to push it back
into the hangar. A true measure of a pilot's
skill is their ability to say no when all others
say yes. Robert Geske is the manager
of aviation safety analysis for the Air Safety
Institute. robert.geske@aopa.org
Why we normalize data /
This year's report demonstrates
the importance of normalizing
trend data-comparing accident
rates instead of raw numbers. The
number of accidents increased
year over year, but the increase in
flight hours offset that increase in
accidents, leading to a reduction in
the accident rate. The use of raw,
frequency-based accident numbers
is problematic for this reason and
normalizing the data presents a
better understanding of the true
risk. That's why we evaluate trends
in terms of accidents per 100,000
flight hours. -RG
