Includes accidents involving all-cargo air carriers when those accidents occurred duringscheduled 14 CFR 135 operations. Before Mar. 20, 1997, 14 CFR 135 applied to aircraft with 30 or fewer seats. Since Mar. 20, 1997, 14 CFR 135 includesonly aircraft with fewer than 10 seats. This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data with more recent years' data.bTotal fatalities for 1991 on U.S. air carriers operating under 14 CFR 135, scheduled service do not include the 22 persons killed aboard a large-certificatedaircraft when it collided with a commuter aircraft.cAn attempted suicide case in 1992 is included in accidents but excluded in accident rates in this table.dRates are based on all accidents, including some that involve operators not reporting mileage or other traffic data to the U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>.NOTESMiles, departures, and hours are compiled by the U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Aviation Administration. Rates are computed by dividing thenumber <strong>of</strong> Fatalities , Serious injured persons , Total accidents , and Total accidents, fatal by the number <strong>of</strong> Aircraft-miles, Aircraft departures , or Flight hours .These figures are based on information provided by airlines to the U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Research and Innovative Technology Administration,Bureau <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> Statistics, Office <strong>of</strong> Airline Information.The illegal acts, such as suicide, sabotage and terrorism, are included in the totals for accidents, fatalities, and rate computation.SOURCESFatalities, accidents, aircraft-miles, aircraft departures, and flight hours:1980: National <strong>Transportation</strong> Safety Board, Annual Review <strong>of</strong> Aircraft Accident Data: U.S. Air Carrier Operations, Calendar Year 1980, NTSB/ARC-83/01(Washington, DC: January 1983), tables 26 and 40.1985-2011: National <strong>Transportation</strong> Safety Board, Aviation Accident Statistics , table 8, available at http://www.ntsb.gov/data/aviation_stats.html as <strong>of</strong> July 20,2012.Serious injuries:1980-85: Ibid., Annual Review <strong>of</strong> Aircraft Accident Data: U.S. Air Carrier Operations (Washington, DC: Annual Issues).1990-2011: Ibid., Analysis and Data Division, personal communications, Apr. 16, 2011, and July 18, 2012.
