Data collected by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) shows that while the United States saw an overall decline in the number of nonfatal Aviation Accidents involving business jets last year, there was an significant increase in fatal accidents involving these aircraft.
According to an article from Aviation International News, there were a total of 29 nonfatal crashes involving U.S.-registered business jets last year versus the 31 accidents that happened in 2011. During 2012 though, the United States saw a spike in fatal plane crashes involving corporate jets, with 24 people dying in five separate accidents. This was a 500 percent increase above 2011’s tally of four deaths occurring during a single accident.
Turboprop aircraft also saw numerous fatal accidents last year, with seven accidents claiming 15 lives last year alone. This was a significant decrease, considering 2011 saw 15 accidents involving these N-numbered aircraft, resulting in 29 deaths.
Experts say that four of the five planes involved in last year’s fatal accidents were being operated under a set of laws, known as Part 91, which regulates how small, non-commercial aircraft are operated.
