Your safety is our mission. 7
The safety record showed also that the number of fatal accidents in commercial air transport
dropped to 1 in 2009 and is one of the lowest in the decade. In 2009, only 2.6 percent of all
fatal accidents in commercial air transport worldwide occurred with aeroplanes operated
by a company from a Member State of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA MS). The
fatal accident rate of scheduled passenger operations is significantly lower in Europe than
in the rest of the world. The number of fatal accidents in helicopter commercial air transport
operations in Europe was two, the same as in 2008, and equal to the ten year average of two.
The number of fatal accidents for general aviation and aerial work operations with aeroplanes
and helicopters remained relatively stable. ‘Loss of control in-flight’ (LOC-I) is the most
frequent accident category for this type of operations. Technical issues appear to play a much
smaller role.
For the fourth time, the Agency collected accident data for light aircraft (Maximum certificated
Take-Off Mass (MTOM) below 2 250 kg) from EASA MS. Overall, the number of accidents in
2009 was 1,234 in this category of aircraft was above the 2006 (1,121) and 2007 (1,157)
figures. The data received were not complete. Several States did not report. The Agency
continues to cooperate with EASA MS to further improve harmonisation of data collection
and to facilitate data sharing.
This is the first year that the Annual Safety Review provides information regarding the
European Central Repository for occurrences (ECR). The number of reports and States reporting
is encouraging. Challenges remain to the quality and accessibility of the data.
The Annual Safety Re view also offers an overview of aviation safety measures taken
in the different EASA Directorates. The Certification Directorate is responsible for the initial
and continuing airworthiness of aeronautical products, parts and appliances. The Rulemaking
Directorate is drafting new or amendments to existing regulations to ensure high common
aviation safety standards in Europe. In the Standardisation Directorate compliance with these
rules is monitored.
In 2009 the European Strategic Safety Initiative continued its activities and progress. The
European Commercial Aviation Safety Team published best practice material on Safety
Management Systems (SMS). The European Helicopter Safety Team published in April 2009
a preliminary analysis report of 2000 – 2005 European accidents. The European General
Aviation Safety Team (EGAST) published safety promotion material on Loss of Control and
Collision Avoidance.
Executive Summary
Aviation Safety in Europe in the year 2009 was marked by
an accident of an Airbus 330 over the Atlantic which involved 228
fatalities. This accident involved the largest number of fatalities
in the year worldwide. Another important accident for Europe
was that of a Super Puma during a helicopter offshore operation
involving 16 fatalities.

Your safety is our mission. 9
1.1 Background
Air transport is one of the safest forms of travel. It is essential to improve that level of safety
for the benefit of the European citizens. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is the
centrepiece of the European Union’s strategy for aviation safety. The Agency develops common
safety and environmental rules at European level. Also, it monitors the implementation
of standards through inspections in the Member States and provides the necessary technical
expertise, training and research. The Agency works hand in hand with the national authorities
which continue to carry out many operational tasks, such as certification of individual aircraft
or pilot licensing.
This document is published by EASA to inform the public of the general safety level in the field
of civil aviation. The Agency provides this review on an annual basis as required by Article
15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
20 February 2008. Analysis of information received from oversight and enforcement activities
may be published separately.
1.2 Scope
This Annual Safety Re view presents statistics on European and worldwide civil aviation
safety. The statistics are grouped according to type of operation, for instance commercial air
transport, and aircraft category, such as aeroplanes, helicopters and gliders. The Agency
had access to accident and statistical information collected by the International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO). States are required, according to ICAO Annex 13 ‘Aircraft accident and
incident investigation’, to report to ICAO information on accidents and serious incidents
to aircraft with a maximum certificated take-off mass (MTOM) over 2 250 kg. Therefore, most
statistics in this review concern aircraft above this mass. In addition to the ICAO data, a
request was made to the EASA Member States (EASA MS) to obtain light aircraft accident
data for the years 2006 – 2009. Furthermore, data on the operation of aircraft for commercial
air transport was obtained from both ICAO and the NLR Air Transport Safety Institute
(The Netherlands).
The Annual Safety Re view (ASR) is based on the data that were available to the Agency
on 23 March 2010. Any changes after that date are not included. Note: Much of the information
is based on initial data. That data is updated as results of investigations become available.
As investigations may take several years, data from previous years may need to be modified.
This leads to differences between data reported in this ASR when compared to that of
previous years.
In this review the terms ‘Europe’ and ‘EASA Member States’ are considered as the 27 EU
Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The region is assigned
based on the State of the Operator of the accident aircraft for commercial air transport
operations. For all other operations, the region is assigned based on the State of Registry.
Within the statistics, special attention is given to fatal accidents. In general these accidents
are internationally well documented. Figures including non-fatal accident numbers are also
presented.
