The publication presents a detailed summary of aircraft accidents which occurred in U.S. general aviation operations during the calendar year 1978. It includes an analysis of accident data providing an overview, types of accidents, accident causal factors, kind of flying, and conclusions; a statistical compilation of accident information presented in the form of accident and rate tables, analytic tables, injury tables and cause/factor tables. These statistical data are divided into sections pertaining to all operations, small fixed-wing aircraft, large fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, gliders, and collisions between aircraft. In 1978, there were 4,494 total general aviation accidents, 793 of which were fatal. Included in the total number of accidents are 63 collisions between aircraft. In coding each aircraft involved in collisions, an additional 63 records resulted, which brought the total number of accident records to 4,557. This figure reflects the actual number of pilots and aircraft involved in the accidents.
