The following are the NTSB reports of aviation accidents that occurred in Arizona from late September thru late October. As all detailed accident information becomes available, APA will attempt to use it to develop safety programs and briefings that should help pilots learn from the mistakes being made by others and prevent similar accidents from happening to them.

From a flight safety standpoint, this reporting period is exceptionally good in that only one accident has been reported, and apparently it may not have involved serious injuries because the NTSB notice was devoid of accident details at this time. The number of accidents occurring here in Arizona has been significantly reduced so far this year. I would like to hope people are still flying about as much as before, but they are doing it much more safely, and I hope everyone keeps this trend up for the rest of the year and beyond.

So far this year, in the state of Arizona, we have only had one fatal accident involving a single fatality. However, the bad news is that there have been some fatal accidents involving Arizona pilots that have occurred out of state, and these accidents have always been exceedingly difficult for us to identify and track. Based on information we have been able to obtain, we believe these out of state fatal accidents involving our pilots may also be significantly down.

Based on information available when this summary was prepared, the reported accident this reporting period is as follows:


Accident Date: Sunday, October 4, 2015
Location: Marble Canyon
Aircraft Type: Bushmaster Super Bushmaster LS1

NO NTSB INFORMATION AVAILABLE
