Conclusion
The key points that can summarised from this analysis are:
§
§
During the period 2011 to 2014, 25% of EASA MS regulate AOC holders who experienced no accidents.
However, 75% of EASA MS regulate AOC holders who did experience at least one accident during the
period 2011 to 2014, highlighting the importance of continual safety efforts;
§
§
The accident rate of an individual State is not proportional to the size of the industry that it regulates.
The States with a higher accident rate than others had AOC holders that were involved in a small num‑
ber of accidents and conducted a small number of movements;
§
§
By contrast, some States with the highest number of accidents, have a low accident rate due to the
high number of movements carried out;
§
§
The only outliers in this analysis involved two small States whose AOC holders perform a little less than
1% of the total number of European movements, which demonstrates the overall high level of safety
in the European system.
