Phase of Flight
Table 41 shows that the total number of accidents and serious incidents was close to the average of the preced‑
ing ten-year period of 2004-2013. In comparing 2014 with the 2004-2013 average, differences can be seen in the
en route and landing phases of flight. While en route accidents and serious incidents approximately halved in
comparison with the preceding ten-year period, landing accidents and serious incidents almost doubled.
