Other information: (Extract from the
statement of reasons)
The spreadsheet data provided to the applicant was based on all
recorded accidents during the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December
2010 where the aircraft involved did not have full Australian (VH-)
or foreign registration. The data also excluded those
accidents involving hang gliders, para-gliders, parachutists,
gyrocopters and power hang gliders registered with the Hang Gliding
Federation of Australia (HGFA). There are some powered hang
gliders registered with the RA-Aust and these have not been
specifically excluded.
As you will see from the data, there are a large number of
accidents that the ATSB has no details on the aircraft.
The main caution that the ATSB would advise with respect to this
data is the consistency. Up until 2007/2008, there was very
limited recording of accidents involving non VH-registered
ultralights. A general rule was that only fatal accidents
involving non VH-registered ultralights were recorded.
Due to the fact that the ATSB does not generally investigate
accidents involving ultralight, we normally have very little in the
way of useful information relating to an accident involving an
ultralight. This is especially true for fatal
accidents. In many of those cases, all the information that
the ATSB has comes from the initial phone notification from
police/emergency services.
Based on the above, and in the absence of reliable activity
data, the information provided in the spreadsheet would be of
limited use in determining accident rates and would provide little
if any indication as to the causes/factors involved in the
individual accidents identified.
