FAASTeam Mission Statement

Improve upon the Nation's aviation accident rate by conveying safety principles and practices

through training, outreach, and education; while establishing partnerships and encouraging the

continual growth of a positive safety culture within the aviation community.



Executive Summary

• The FAASTeam National Business Plan is a tool utilized by the FAASTeam to accomplish National Goals set by the Administrator.

• The Business Plan is designed to assist the Regional FAASTeam Manager (RFM) by providing an overview of the pertinent national aviation safety data.

Take-home Points from the Maintenance Data

• Maintenance-related accidents and incidents are on a downward trend.

• Maintenance-related accidents result in a higher likelihood of injury.

• 86% of Maintenance-related accidents occur under CFR Part 91 Operations.

• Maintenance-related accidents tend to occur during Takeoff and Cruise and involve engine issues.

• Maintenance-related incidents involve landing gear and braking systems primarily.

• Pilots are responsible for the majority of maintenance-related incidents.



Take-home Points from the General Aviation Accident Data

• Overall, GA accidents continue to be on the decline.

• Accidents occurring during increased exposure, spring, summer, and fall months. - Except for Florida

• Accident counts following fleet size, • Homebuilt accident rates are actually getting better

even with a rapidly growing fleet size. • Landings continue to prevail as the primary phase

of flight in the GA accidents.• Loss of directional control of the aircraft continues

to be the primary cause cited in the NTSB causal data for GA accidents.



The FAA Flight Plan has a targeted objective of reducing both

commercial air carrier and general aviation fatalities. We are trending towards the achievement of these

goals however, we are in a period of reduced activity and a portion of the

reduction can be attributed to reduced exposure.
