Study Explores Air Accidents

An analysis of 621 global fatal accidents to passenger aircraft between
1980 and 1996 showed that 41% occurred due to lack of positional

Civil Aviation Authority, said yesterday. Sayce released his report at
the Global Aviation Safety & Security Conference in
Washington. -Aviation Daily
