FAA & Industry Avionics Rotorcraft Forum
Working with industry to enhance safety in rotorcraft through cockpit technology.
The fourth FAA and Industry Rotorcraft Forum is a two-day event that takes place Aug. 21-22, 2013 at Tarrant County's Alliance Corporate Training Center Auditorium in Fort Worth, Texas. The aim of the forum is to open the lines of communication between industry and the Rotorcraft Directorate.
The National Transportation Safety Board recently released preliminary aviation accident statistics showing U.S. civil aviation accidents fell from 1,550 in 2011, to 1,539 in 2012.
For the third straight year, there were no fatal accidents involving scheduled Part 121 operations (commercial air transport). In addition, there were no fatal accidents involving scheduled Part 135 operations (commuter), the sixth year in a row that this segment of aviation experienced no fatalities.
For the general aviation community, the results were mixed. Although the number of total accidents (1,471) and fatal accidents (271) increased from the previous year, there were fewer (432) fatalities, and the accident rate per 100,000 flight hours declined to 6.78.
Finally, on-demand Part 135 operations, which include charter, air taxi, air tour, and air medical flights, posted decreases across all measures. In 2012, the number of total accidents, fatal accidents, fatalities and the accident rate per 100,000 flight hours for these operations decreased from the previous year.
The 2012 statistical tables showing accidents, fatalities, and accident rates for major segments of U.S. civil aviation are available at:
