Occurrence Categories
General Aviation Rotorcraft
In order to assist in the identification of particular safety issues, one or multiple occurrence categories were as‑
signed to GA rotorcraft accidents involving EASA MS registered aircraft and this information is shown in Table 31.
This was done using the CICTT occurrence categories, which are listed in Appendix 1.
The occurrence category analysis reveals that LOC‑I is the most type of GA Rotorcraft accident. The categories of
LOC‑G and ARC also feature highly.
