The outstanding safety beat here in Arizona goes on!!! As of my last query, May 27th, into the NTSB database, there have still been NO fatal accidents in Arizona since January 1st of this year. That is a great statistic, finishing out the 1st five months of 2023 with no fatal accidents. Can we actually end the 2nd quarter, the next 30 days, still fatality free?? Fingers crossed…
Furthermore, the NTSB database only shows 7 other accidents, 6 aircraft and one helicopter, all non-fatal, across the state for the same time period covered above. Yes, we still have our share of fender-benders, aka incidents, but not big-time accidents. That is another good sign we are operating very safely.
FOR INFORMATION ON ALL ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS THAT OCCURRED LAST MONTH, REFER TO JIM TIMM’S ACCIDENT SUMMARY HEREIN.
