TYPE AIRMAN CERTIFICATION AS RELATED TO ACCIDENTS,

Abstract

An analysis of 1964 aircraft accidents, using type of airman certificate as a measure of pilot proficiency, is presented. Data show that student pilots generally have a better accident record than any other of the certification groups. Analysis confirmed that, as light and weather conditions deteriorated, accident rates increased. Also, as the higher level of airman certification was achieved (excluding students) the percentage of accidents decreased. (Author)
