Russia’s IAC reports 56 accidents, 27 crashes in 2015
Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) has reported that airlines in member states had 56 accidents, including 27 crashes, which killed 116 people in 2015, according to IAC’s Safety Performance Report. The statistics include general aviation, helicopter performance and technical flights. IAC defines an accident as an event where an aircraft was damaged without fatalities, while a crash is defined as an accident resulting in fatalities. The report does not include the Metrojet Airbus A321 crash over Sinai, as Russia stated that an explosive device was responsible for the downing of the aircraft. In the report, IAC pointed out the common problems of civil aviation of country members, such as insufficient pilot training, absence of distinct criteria for pilot-instructors, and insufficient knowledge of the English language. <br/>
