Addendum Page Change Date Safety summary Why have we done this report Thousands of safety occurrences involving Australian-registered and foreign aircraft are reported to the ATSB every year by individuals and organisations in Australia’s aviation industry, and by the public. The aim of the ATSB’s statistical report series is to give information back to pilots, operators, regulators, and other aviation industry participants on what accidents and incidents have happened, how often they are happening, and what we can learn from them. What the ATSB found In 2012, there were 107 accidents, 195 serious incidents, and over 7,300 incidents reported to the ATSB involving Australian (VH– registered) aircraft, and a further 570 occurrences that involved foreign-registered aircraft operating within Australia or its airspace. Commercial air transport aircraft were involved in the majority of incidents reported each year, and in 2012 the most common safety incidents reported were animal strikes, non-compliance with publish information or air traffic control instructions, and aircraft system and airframe issues. Most accidents and serious incidents related to reduced aircraft separation and engine malfunction. General aviation aircraft, such as aircraft conducting flying training, aerial work, or private/pleasure flying, were involved in 38 per cent of occurrences reported to the ATSB in 2012. Airspace incursions, compliance with air traffic control, and birdstrikes were the most common incidents reported, with most accidents and serious incidents involving terrain collisions, engine failures, and a loss of aircraft control. Private/business operations had the highest number of fatal accidents in 2012 out of any year in the last 10 years, with 15 fatal accidents resulting in 22 fatalities. In contrast, commercial aerial work operations recorded the lowest number of accidents in the past 10 years. In most operation types, helicopters had a higher rate of accidents and fatal accidents than aeroplanes. A new addition to the ATSB’s aviation statistics are data on recreational (non–VH) aircraft safety. In 2012, the majority of the 274 occurrences reported were controlled airspace incursions, engine malfunctions, aircraft control problems, and runway events such as veer-offs. Over the past 10 years, aerial agriculture had the most accidents and fatal accidents per hour flown, followed by private/business operations. Aerial survey and aerial mustering had the next highest accident and fatal accident rates. Safety message Aviation occurrence statistics provide a reminder to everyone involved in the operation of aircraft that accidents, incidents, and injuries happen more often than is widely believed. Some of the most frequent accident types are preventable, particularly in general aviation. Pilots and operators should use the misfortunes of others to help identify the safety risks in their operation that could lead to a similar accident or serious incident. Timely and thorough reporting of safety incidents is paramount. The ATSB’s capability to understand why accidents and incidents happen and to identify the major safety risks in different types of aviation operations is at its best when all aviation participants report all safety incidents. The information the ATSB provides helps everyone in the aviation industry to better manage their safety risk.

The reporting of these aviation accidents and incidents, collectively termed occurrences, assists the ATSB in monitoring safety through its core functions of independent investigation and the analysis of data to identify emerging trends. The types of occurrences that are required to be reported to the ATSB are detailed in the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003 (‘the Regulations’). Depending on the seriousness of the event (in terms of the potential to cause injury or damage) and the category of operation, these occurrences are categorised as either immediately reportable matters (IRMs) or routine reportable matters (RRMs). To see the full list of IRMs and RRMs, visit the ATSB’s website at www.atsb.gov.au/about_atsb/legislation.aspx. Aviation occurrence statistics are updated and published annually by the ATSB, and can be subject to change pending the provision of new information to the ATSB. When using these statistics, it is important to remember that occurrence data is provided to the ATSB by responsible persons as defined in Part 2.5 of the Regulations. The ATSB accepts no liability for any loss or damage suffered by any person or corporation resulting from the use of these statistics. › 1 ‹ ATSB – AR-2013-067 › 2 ‹ ATSB – AR-2013-067 Activity data The overall number of safety occurrences alone does not represent a complete picture of aviation safety. For meaningful comparisons to be made between different types of aircraft and the operations they perform, aviation occurrence statistics are often presented as a rate per million hours flown or per million departures. The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) collect and compile this activity data from reports submitted by airlines, and from other aircraft operators through the General Aviation Activity Survey. Activity data used to calculate rates in this report can be found in Table 1 and Table 2. This data is rounded to the nearest thousand hours (or thousand departures) to present the size or magnitude of the data

    -1 Dick Willis, HSRCA Group JKL Registrar PO Box 280, Coffs Harbour, NSW. 2450. Ph. 02 66522099, 0427 400158, [email protected] Greetings All, Although our JKL numbers were very small at our second HSRCA race meeting of the year at Eastern Creek on June 25/26 those of us who made the effort were rewarded with some great racing and camaraderie. In Group K we had the return of David St Julian in the lovely Lagonda Rapier Special complete with its smell of methanol/Castrol R but who was plagued with niggling problems and eventually had to park it when he thought the engine was trying to tell him it wanted to drop a valve. In L Racing we had Percy Hunter in the faithful blown TC Special, Max Lane in his newly imported Lola FJ with offset driveline from its Ford 105E motor, John Medley in his Nota BMC FJ and myself in the Nota Major having its first run at Eastern Creek for some 15 years. In L Sports we had Peter Lubrano in his TC Special and John Murn in the Decca Major. In invited M we had John Evans from Victoria in the B Series powered Elfin Streamliner and Henry Walker in the familiar and revolutionary Nalla Holden. We were joined by two Na A30’s and 8 Sa cars including four very quick Austin Healey 3000’s two of which were to claim the first two places in the two scratch races. Saturday’s 8 lapper produced a bit of a surprise when the Nota Major proved to be the quickest of the non Sa cars coming home a strong third behind the Healeys of Peter Jackson and Laurie Sellers, John Medley was forced to retire with a split header tank which he was able to rectify in time for Sunday and Max Lane was the best of the other L cars in sixth.

  • Updating Australia's High-Quality Annual Temperature Dataset
    Aust.Met. Mag. 53 (2004)15-93 Updating Australia's high-quality annual temperature dataset Paul Della-Marta and Dean Collins National Climate Centre,Bureau of Meteorology,Australia and Karl Braganza CSIRO AtmosphericRese arch, Aspendale, Australia (Manuscriptreceived June 2003;revised September 2003) An updated and improved version of the Australian high-qual- ity annual mean temperature dataset of Torok and Nicholls (1996)has been produced. This was achievedby undertaking a thorough post-1993homogeneity assessment using a number of objective and semi-objectivetechniques, by matching closed records onto continuing records, and by adding some shorter duration records in data-sparseregions. Each record has been re-assessedfor quality on the basis of recent metadata, result- ing in many records being rejected from the dataset. In addi- tion, records have been re-examinedfor possibleurban conta- mination using some new approaches.This update has high- lighted the need for accurate and completestation metadata. It has also demonstrated the value of at least two years of over- lapping observations for major site changes to ensure the homogeneityof the climate record. A total of 133 good-quality, homogenisedrecords have been produced. A non-urban subset of 99 stationsprovides reliable calculations of Australia'sannu- al mean temperature anomalies with observation error vari- ancesbetween 15 and 25 per cent of the total variance and decorrelation length scalesgreater than the ayerageinter-sta- tion separation. trntroduction Torok and Nicholls (1996) produced a homogenised primary purposeof this datasetwas to enablethe 'high-quality' or datasetof annual mean maximum reliablemonitoring of climatetrends and variability and minimum temperatureseries for Australia.

  • To Our Shareholders in an Environment Where Challenges
    To our Shareholders In an environment where challenges abound, I’m proud to report the results and accomplishments of 2003. We’ve achieved these results in conjunction with a large expansion into regional jet aircraft. In spite of the challenges we maintained the integrity of our business model, provided value to our major partners through cost reductions and increased value to our shareholders. In summarizing the year, let me highlight some of our most significant achievements and successes. ¾ Added 36 net new 50-seat regional jet aircraft to the fleet ¾ Negotiated a new long-term agreement with United Airlines that was bankruptcy court approved ¾ Subsequent to year-end, negotiated an understanding with Delta Air Lines for rates and terms going forward ¾ Maintained an aggressive approach to cost reductions and containment in order to create value for our major partners and to remain competitive ¾ Reduced cost per available seat mile 11.4% $0.134 per available seat mile ¾ Negotiated a new purchase agreement with Bombardier Aerospace for additional regional jet aircraft and subsequent to year-end, increased the number of aircraft on firm order ¾ Added Continental Airlines as an additional code-sharing partner ¾ Financed all aircraft deliveries with long-term permanent lease or long-term debt and had no aircraft under interim financing arrangements at year-end I’m also happy to report that we were recently recognized for our outstanding quality wherein the U.S. Department of Transportation Air Travel Consumer Report named SkyWest Airlines as the number 1 carrier for on-time performance for calendar 2003. We added 36 net new 50-seat regional jet aircraft during the year.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts
    2 Aviation Activity Forecasts INTRODUCTION The Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) is one of six public use airports in Sonoma County. It is the only commercial service airport1 between the San Francisco Bay Area to the south, Sacramento to the east and Arcata-Eureka to the north. The Airport’s primary service area has a population of over 1 million people2 and includes Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino counties, and parts of Marin and Napa counties. Airport Role The Sonoma County Airport, as the region’s principal Airport, serves many roles, including providing facilities for scheduled commuter and air carrier airline services. The California Aviation System Plan (CASP) designates the Airport as a Primary Commercial Service Non-Hub Airport. There are no Primary Commercial Service Hub airports in the region. The closest Primary Commercial Service Hub airports are the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose International Airports. The Sacramento International Airport is slightly more distant, but at times it can be more convenient for highway travel. The Sonoma County Airport also serves a growing population of general aviation (GA) activities including corporate and business flying. For this reason, the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) currently classifies the Airport as a General Aviation facility, but in the future the Airport is expected to be reclassified as a Commercial Service Non-Primary Airport. A strong potential exists for additional scheduled airline and commuter air carrier service, particularly in the form of new, quiet technology jet aircraft with up to 135 passenger seats.3 The Airport also serves as a base of operations for local pilots, a place to conduct business, and a point of emergency access for the region.
