Abstract

A trend for accident rate is considered as regards the civil aviation of the Commonwealth of Independent State (CIS). The trend analysis is based on representative statistical data for the last 20 years period. Authors make an attempt to classify and generalize some lessons of aviation accidents. This discussion is carried out for aircraft with gas turbine engines. Some negative factors and causes of accidents are revealed for the most dangerous flight events and situations including aircraft stall, icing, air and ground collision, aircraft overloading etc. Recommendations are offered to prevent accidents of the considered classes.
