New Research Resource: NTSB Releases Data Visualization Tool for General Aviation Accidents

From the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB):

The National Transportation Safety Board Wednesday introduced a new tool to visualize information about recent general aviation accident investigations.

The General Aviation Accident Dashboard provides summary statistics, investigative findings and safety recommendations for general aviation accidents from 2012 through 2021.

The Dashboard allows users to more intuitively display accident information, reports and statistics by selecting one or more filters for year, location, phase of flight and defining event. Accident findings are displayed in a tree-like menu that’s based on the four-level hierarchy NTSB uses to break down its investigative findings.

The tool also includes preset filters for commonly sought-after findings such as those on aircraft control, powerplant and weather. Safety recommendations relating to the general aviation accidents in the 10-year data set can be filtered by year or addressee.

To help users get the most from the Dashboard, the NTSB also released four short video tutorials. The first is an overview of the entire application; the other three use examples to demonstrate how various filters can be used to display different results.

The Dashboard, tutorial videos, a data spreadsheet and glossary of terms are all available in the Statistical Reviews section of the NTSB website: General Aviation Accident Dashboard: 2012-2021 (ntsb.gov).​
