This document provides Canadians with an annual summary of selected aviation safety data. The TSB gathers and uses this data during the course of our investigations to analyse safety deficiencies and identify risks in the Canadian transportation system.
The 2013 data were collected according to the reporting requirements described in the TSB Regulations in force during that calendar year. On March 12, 2014, the TSB issued new regulations that change the reporting requirements effective July 1, 2014. These changes will be reflected only in the 2014 Statistical Summary.
Users of these statistics are advised that, in a live database, the occurrence data are constantly being updated. Consequently, the statistics may change slightly over time. Further, as many occurrences are not formally investigated, information recorded for some occurrences may not have been verified. Therefore, caution should be used when utilizing these statistics. The 2013 statistics presented here reflect the TSB database updated as of 24 January 2014.
To enhance awareness and increase the safety value of the material presented in the TSB Statistical Summary, Aviation Occurrences 2013, readers are encouraged to copy or reprint the data presented, in whole or in part, for further distribution (with acknowledgements of the source).
The TSB is an independent agency operating under its own Act of Parliament. Its sole aim is the advancement of transportation safety.
In 2013, a total of 275 aviation accidents were reported to the TSB, a 5% decrease from the 2012 total of 291 and a 4% decrease from the 5-year average of 285. Of the total, 242 involved Canadian-registered aircraft (excluding ultra-lights)Footnote 1, similar to 2012 (Figure 1), and unchanged from the 5-year average of 243.
The 2013 estimate of flying activity is 4,261,000 hours, and the accident rate for Canadian-registered aircraft decreased from the 2012 accident rate of 5.5 accidents per 100 000 flying hours to 5.4. Analysis using linear regression indicates a statistically significant downward trend in accident rates (p < .01)Footnote 2 over the 10-year period from 2004 to 2013 (Figure 1). Similarly, the 2013 accident rate of 3.9 accidents per 100 000 aircraft movements decreased from the 2012 rate of 4.2 accidents per 100 000 aircraft movements, and that rate has also trended significantly downward (p < .05) over the same 10-year period.

The 242 accidents involving Canadian-registered aircraft included 203 accidents involving aeroplanesFootnote 3(39 accidents involved commercially operated aeroplanes) and 27 accidents involving helicopters. The remaining 13 accidents involved gliders, gyrocopters, balloons, or rotary-wing UAS (unmanned aircraft systems).
Of the 39 accidents involving Canadian-registered commercial aeroplanes (6 airliners, 3 commuter aircraft, 18 air taxi and 12 aerial work) in 2013 (Figure 2), 7 resulted in fatalities. Five fatal accidents involved air taxis, one fatal accident involved a commuter aircraft, and one fatal accident involved aerial work.
A total of 158 accidents involved Canadian-registered private/other aeroplanes, 12% higher than the 5-year average of 141. In 2013, 14 such accidents resulted in fatalities, down from 19 in 2012, but unchanged from the 5-year average of 14.

In 2013, 30 fatal accidents involved Canadian-registered aircraft other than ultra-lights (Figure 3), slightly lower than the 2012 total of 33 but unchanged from the 5-year average of 30. The number of fatalities (57), while up from the 2012 total of 54, was slightly lower than the 5-year average of 59, and the number of serious injuries (19) was substantially lower than the 2012 total of 39 and the 5-year average of 36.

In 2013, for all reportable accidents, crew fatalities accounted for 67% of aircraft fatalities, passenger fatalities accounted for 30%, and ground fatalities accounted for 3%.
In 2013, 27 accidents involved Canadian-registered helicopters, yielding a 24% decrease from the 5-year average of 36. Six of those accidents were fatal, resulting in 12 fatalities. Over the past 10 years, the highest proportion of helicopter accidents occurred during air transport operations (39%), pleasure/travel (15%), and training (7%).
In 2013, 23 accidents in Canada involved Canadian-registered ultra-light aircraft, a 21% decrease from the 5-year average of 29. Four of these were fatal accidents resulting in 4 fatalities.
In 2013, 10 accidents involved foreign-registered aircraft in Canada, with 2 fatal accidents resulting in 2 fatalities.
Province (Table 8): In 2013, Quebec and Ontario each accounted for 24% of Canadian-registered aircraft accidents, and British Columbia accounted for 18%, all approximately proportional to the number of registered aircraft in those provincesFootnote 4. In five of the six most populous provinces (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan), the total Canadian-registered aircraft accidents were slightly higher than the 5-year average (Figure 4).

Accident events and phases (Tables 11 and 12): Accidents may be analyzed in more detail by examining the nature and distribution of selected events contributing to an occurrence. Tables 11 and 12 show counts of accidents involving selected event types within each phase of flight.
Although a single accident may involve more than one event within a phase, that accident is only counted once in the phase total. Therefore, the total of events within a phase will not sum to phase event totals. For example, in the "take-off" phase, if an occurrence involves both "loss of control " and "power loss" events, the occurrence is counted in each event category, but only once in the phase total. As well, approximately 5% of aeroplane accidents and 25% of helicopter accidents involve events in more than one phase of flight (not including "post-impact"), so the accidents shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 sum to more than the total of accidents.
In 2013, the distribution was similar to that of 2012. The greatest numbers of aeroplane accidents were associated with landing (55%) and take-off (19%) phases of flight, followed by en route (16%) and approach (15%) phases. The greatest numbers of helicopter accidents were associated with landing (44%), takeoff (26%), and manoeuveringFootnote 5 (26%) phases of flight, followed by en route (19%) and approach (11%) phases. The figures below show the distribution of accidents per phase of flight for the period 2004-2013.

From 2004 to 2013, of the 1192 aeroplane accidents with landing phase events, 26% involved missing or going off the runway, 21% involved collision with object, 18% involved landing gear collapse or retraction, and 18% involved a nosedown or overturning event. Of the 485 aeroplane accidents with take-off phase events, 30% involved collision with terrain, 29% involved collision with object, and 27% involved loss of control.
Collision with terrain was the predominant event in fatal aeroplane accidents from 2004 to 2013. Collision with terrain was involved in 62% of the 50 fatal aeroplane accidents with takeoff phase events, 68% of 87 fatal aeroplane accidents with en route phase events, 72% of 25 fatal aeroplane accidents with manoeuvering phase events, 70% of 46 fatal aeroplane accidents with approach phase events, and 50% of 30 fatal aeroplane accidents with landing phase events.
From 2004 to 2013, of the 150 helicopter accidents with landing phase events, 27% involved a hard landing, 23% involved a collision with object, 20% involved loss of control, and 19% involved collision with terrain. Of the 105 helicopter accidents with manoeuvering phase events, 50% involved collision with terrain, 27% involved loss of control, and 26% involved collision with object.
Collision with terrain was also the predominant event in fatal helicopter accidents from 2004 to 2013. Collision with terrain was involved in 9 of 12 fatal helicopter accidents with takeoff phase events, 21 of 30 fatal helicopter accidents with en route phase events, 17 of 25 fatal helicopter accidents with manoeuvering phase events, 4 of 9 fatal helicopter accidents with approach phase events, and 6 of 7 fatal helicopter accidents with landing phase events.
Operation type (Table 6): In 2013, aeroplane accidents occurred mainly on recreational flights (62%), followed by air transport (12%) and training flights (12%). Helicopter accidents occurred mainly on air transport flights (30%) and forest fire management flights (11%).
Pursuant to TSB mandatory incident reporting requirements, 685 incidents were reported in 2013, with 578 involving Canadian-registered aircraft. This is an 8% increase from the 2012 total of 636, but a 10% decrease from the 5-year average of 761. Analysis using linear regression indicates a statistically significant downward trend in incidents (p < .05) over the 10 year period from 2004 to 2013.
In 2013, the most frequent incident types involving all Canadian-registered and foreign-registered aircraft were declared emergency (42%), risk of collision or loss of separation (17%), and engine failure (12%) (Figure 7).

Data extracted January 24, 2014. Accidents are reported in accordance with the TSB's regulations for mandatory reporting of occurrences. Breakdowns do not add up to totals. For example, in the "Take-off" phase, if an occurrence involves both "Control loss" and "Power loss" events, the occurrence is counted in each event category, but only once in the phase total.

The following definitions apply to aviation occurrences that are required to be reported pursuant to the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act and the associated regulations.
An accident resulting directly from the operation of an aircraft where
An incident resulting directly from the operation of an aeroplane having a maximum certificated take-off weight (MCTOW) greater than 5700 kg, or from the operation of a rotorcraft having a MCTOW greater than 2250 kg, where
An injury that is sustained by a person in an accident and that
Any event related to the provision of air traffic control services including, but not limited to, failure or inability to provide service, emergency handling, or loss of in-flight separation.
A situation in which, in the opinion of a pilot or air traffic services personnel, the distance between aircraft as well as their positions and speed have been such that the safety of the aircraft involved may have been compromised.
Commercial operators include carriers that offer a “for-hire” service to transport people or goods, or to undertake specific tasks such as aerial photography, flight training, or crop spraying.
An aeroplane used by a Canadian air operator in an air transport service or in aerial work involving sightseeing operations, that has a MCTOW of more than 8618 kg (19 000 pounds) or for which a Canadian type certificate has been issued authorizing the transport of 20 or more passengers.
An aeroplane used by a Canadian air operator, in an air transport service or in aerial work involving sightseeing operations, in which the aircraft is:
A commercially operated aeroplane or helicopter used in aerial work involving
A commercially operated aircraft used in an air transport service or in aerial work involving sightseeing operations, in which the aircraft is:
State operators include the federal and provincial governments.
Corporate operators include companies flying for business reasons.
Private operators include individuals flying for pleasure. Included are flights on which it is not possible to transport people or cargo on a “for-hire” basis.
Ultra-light accidents will be presented separately in all subsequent discussion of occurrences involving Canadian-registered aircraft.
It is agreed by convention that, for a result to be considered statistically significant, its probability must be lower than 1 in 20 (that is, p<.05).
As some occurrences involve more than one aircraft, readers are cautioned to note differences between the number of occurrences and the number of aircraft involved in occurrences. All tables except Table 1 exclude ultra-light aircraft; all tables except Tables 1 and 4 also exclude balloons, gliders and gyrocopters.
Manoeuvering (i.e., low altitude/aerobatic flight operations) does not occur on all flights.
Manoeuvering (i.e., low altitude/aerobatic flight operations) does not occur on all flights.
