Robinson Piston Engine Accident Data Australia
Posted: Fri May 12 2017, 10:15
When i used to work in the industry, people used to ask me often about what was the most dangerous thing about helicopters, and i simply could not answer.
Over the last 2 weeks, while incredibly bored, i compiled a database from the ATSB of Robinson R22 and R44 accident data from the last 20 years and assigned a root cause in my opinion of the accident.
The constituent data includes only those defined as an accident by the ATSB where the machine was damaged in some way.
I am not the owner of the constituent data, and i have value added to this data so i should caution those on making any media comment on these findings against doing so.
The findings show exactly what my instructor used to tell me, "WIRES ARE THE BIGGEST DANGER TO HELICOPTER PILOTS" and "DONT TAKE OFF IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN OF THE WEATHER, YOU WILL DIE."
The data shows the count of aircraft involved in accidents over the 20 years for a particular cause of accident, at the level of where a human went wrong or where a machine simply failed prematurely and why.
If you find an obvious error let me know as i would like to look into it. Some of the findings were simply an informed opinion of an accident report and news and media articles.
