The ATSB has changed the way in which aviation statistics are
presented. This report represents the first in an ongoing series of
reports provided in the new format. The report encompasses a
rolling 10-year reporting cycle and replaces all individual
spreadsheets previously available.
This report provides aviation accident and incident,
collectively termed occurrence, data for the period 1 January 1998
to 30 June 2008. This data was provided to the Australian Transport
Safety Bureau by 'responsible persons' as defined in the
Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003, Part 2.5.
The data excludes non-VH registered operations in the sports
aviation category, and is current as at 30 June 2008.
The data will be adjusted quarterly to reflect new information
received during the reporting period.
