Title and Subtitle: Type airman certification as related to accidents.
Report Date: October 1967
Authors: Veregge EJ.
Abstract: An analysis of 1964 aircraft accidents, using type of airman certificate as a measure of pilot proficiency, is presented. Data show that student pilots generally have a better accident record than any other of the certification groups. Analysis confirmed that, as light and weather conditions deteriorated, accident rates increased. Also, as the higher level of airman certification was achieved (excluding students) the percentage of accidents decreased.
Key Words: aviation accidents, statistical analysis, pilots, exposure (physiology), performance (human), crash injuries, mortality rate, civil aviation, students, aviation personnel, night flight, instrument flight, aviation safety, aviation medicine.
