| Abstract | "This report summarizes the analysis of 97 general aviation accidents in Alaska that resulted in a fatality or serious injury to one or more aircraft occupants for the years 2004-2009. The accidents were analyzed using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) developed by Douglas Weigmann and Scott Shappell. As found in previous studies of this nature, Skill-Based Errors were found to be the most common accident causal factor, followed by Violation, Decision-Based Error, and Perceptual Error. Comparison of the findings to previous research finds both similarities and contrasts. Recommendations for preventing accidents are provided." |
