Occurrences by operation typeOccurrence numbers and rates presented in the statistics in this section relate to the following operational types: Commercial air transport - high capacity regular public transport (RPT) flights, low capacity RPT flights, and charter flights General aviation - aerial work operations, flying training, and private, business and sports aviation (VH– or foreign-registered) Recreational aviation – aircraft being used for recreational flying that are registered by a recreational aviation administration organisation (RAAO). Aircraft involved in these occurrences included both Australian civil registered aircraft (both VH – aircraft, and aircraft registered by recreational aviation organisations) operating within or outside of Australian territory9, and foreign registered aircraft operating within Australian territory. For further information on how the statistics in this report were treated, and how these operational types are defined by the ATSB, see Appendix A – Explanatory notes. 
Collision with terrain involving Cessna 182R Skylane (VH-AUT), near Hamilton Airport, Victoria (ATSB investigation AO-2013-163) Table compares the number of fatal accidents and fatalities for commercial air transport, general aviation, and recreational aviation, and each of their subtypes. Fatal accidents in some aircraft operations are more likely to have a greater number of associated fatalities than in other operation types. For example, aircraft used for agricultural operations usually have only the pilot on board (so the number of fatal accidents was the same as the number of fatalities over the last 10 years), whereas survey/photography aircraft generally have a pilot, as well as camera operators or navigators, on board (there were twice as many fatalities as fatal accidents in the last 10 years).

In 2013, (non-VH registered) recreational aviation had the most accidents and fatal accidents of all operation types. Despite a decrease in the number of accidents when compared to 2012, the number of fatal accidents and fatalities reported doubled. Private/business aviation (which traditionally has made up the greatest share of accidents and fatal accidents) recorded the most fatalities of all operation types in 2013, but there were less than in 2012. In aerial mustering and aerial agriculture (generally higher risk operations) there was also a fall in the number of accidents in 2013, although more serious incidents were reported. In air transport, the number of accidents and serious incidents reported in 2013 remained similar to 2012, with three fatalities and two serious injuries (mostly involving charter operations). Figure below shows the rate of accidents and of fatal accidents for each of the specific operation types12 over this period per million hours flown. Recreational aviation operation types had notably higher accident rates when compared to most general aviation (GA) or air transport operations, although aerial agriculture and private/business/sport flights had the second and third-highest accident rates per million flying hours. When combining VH-registered gliding with private/business/sport operations, the accident rate is the same as that for all non-VH recreational flying combined. Recreational, private/business/sport, and aerial agriculture operation types were among the most likely to result in a fatal accident when considering the amount of flying activity. However, half of all gyrocopters accidents were fatal (and gyrocopters also had the worst fatal accident rate per million hours flown), a third of weight shift aircraft accidents were fatal, and about a quarter of gliding and aerial survey and photography accidents were fatal. More detailed information on accident rates for each operation type is provided in the following sections of this report.
