Similar to its predecessors, the 28th Nall report released by the AOPA last week analyzes general aviation accidents in United States national airspace and on flights departing from or returning to the U.S. or its territories or possessions. The Joseph T. Nall Report, named for a former NTSB Board member, focuses on airplanes that weigh less than 12,500 pounds and helicopters of all sizes. Collectively, these numbers account for 99 percent of GA flight activity. Some categories are excluded however, including gliders, weight-shift control aircraft, powered parachutes, gyrocopters, and lighter-than-air machines of all types.
