Data extracted 15 February 2024

  • Reportable accidents and incidents are reported in accordance with the TSB's regulations for mandatory reporting of occurrences.
  • Breakdowns may not add up to totals. For example, in the total "Number of accidents by operation type", when an occurrence involves an airplane and a helicopter, the occurrence is counted in each category, but only once in the total.
  • Canadian-registered aircraft, excluding ultralights, balloons, gyroplanes, gliders, dirigibles, hang gliders and similar aircraft types.
  • New TSB regulations came into effect on July 1, 2014, changing some reporting requirements.
 

Note: This is preliminary information subject to year-end validation and reconciliation.
