Notes:
1. All data in this report is extracted from the IATA Global Safety Information Center (GSIC).
2. IATA defines an accident as an event where ALL of the following criteria are satisfied:
· Person(s) have boarded the aircraft with the intention of flight (either flight crew or passengers).
· The intention of the flight is limited to normal commercial aviation activities, specifically scheduled/charter passenger or cargo service. Executive jet operations, training, maintenance/test flights are all excluded.
· The aircraft is multi-engine, turbine powered, and has a certificated Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of at least 5,700KG (12,540 lbs) for Turboprops and 15,000KG (33,000 lbs) for Jets.
· The aircraft has sustained major structural damage exceeding $ 1 million or 10% of the aircraft's hull reserve value, whichever is lower, or has been declared a hull loss.
3. A hull loss is an accident in which the aircraft is destroyed or substantially damaged and is not subsequently repaired for whatever reason including a financial decision of the owner.
4. Industry hull loss rates are based on the number of Western-built jet hull losses per million flights (i.e. excluding turboprop aircraft and Eastern-built jet aircraft).
5. The accident rates in this report are those that were published in the IATA Safety Report of the year indicated.
