NOTES: 2004 data are preliminary. The 2001 spike in commercial aviation fatalities per hours flown is the result of the terrorist acts of September 11; these data include only fatalities of persons aboard the 4 aircraft. General aviation can be described as any civil aircraft operation that is not covered under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 121, 129, or 135, commonly referred to as commercial air carrier operations. Commerical aviation includes air carriers operating under 14 CFR Part 121 only, both scheduled and nonscheduled service.
