Article Synopsis
- Pilot errors contribute to 80% of aviation crashes, with research showing that older pilots tend to struggle more than younger ones in tasks requiring working memory.
- This study analyzes crash data from 3306 pilots aged 45-54, focusing on differences between those aged 40-49 and those aged 50-63 involved in crashes from 1983 to 1997.
- The findings reveal that crash circumstances are similar across age groups, with 73% of younger pilots and 69% of older pilots having pilot errors, indicating that age does not significantly affect crash patterns or error prevalence.
Fatal crashes among older drivers: decomposition of rates into contributing factors.
Am J Epidemiol
February 2002
This study selected US drivers aged 55 years or older who were involved in fatal crashes in 1990 and 1995 and explored factors that influenced their fatal crash involvement rate. The fatal crash involvement rate (risk of being involved in a fatal crash) can be thought of as the product of the crash fatality rate (risk of dying given a crash), the crash incidence density (risk of crash), and the exposure prevalence (amount of driving). Fatal crash involvement rates increased with age.
