Data extracted 17 March 2025 Breakdowns may not add up to totals. For example, when an occurrence involves an airplane and a helicopter, the occurrence is counted in each type, but only once in the total. Includes balloons, gyroplanes, gliders, airships, hang gliders, remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), and other aircraft types. "Number of aircraft involved in accidents" are aircraft counts, all other data are accident counts. New TSB regulations came into effect on 1 July 2014. Under new reporting requirements aviation incidents include: a) aircraft having a maximum certificated take-off weight greater than 2 250 kg (formerly 5 700 kg); b) aircraft being operated under an air operator certificate issued under CARs Part VII.
