The Review contains short reports on all aviation sectors. The General Aviation section is short and two key extracts from it are shown below:
There were 170 reportable accidents and serious incidents involving GA aircraft in 2023, of which 82% resulted in no injuries (this is similar to the previous five-year average). However, 11 reportable accidents that occurred during this time caused 12 people to sustain fatal injuries. There were also eight reportable accidents which resulted in serious injuries to nine people.
Reportable accidents and serious incidents in 2023 largely involved GA aeroplanes and were mostly attributed to an obstacle (tree, hedge, fence, etc) as a result of hard/heavy landings or long/fast landings. In 2023 the injury related accident rate was mainly driven by gliders with two accidents in August.
