The table below summarises the accident statistics recorded from 1 January to 03 March 2018, classifying casualties by severity and distinguishing accidents involving only material damage.

The monthly statistics are updated according to the latest known information (see the graph below), although not all low-severity accidents may appear for the current month as they sometimes reach us late.

bsv46 statistics

Number of events by severity and by month (for all microlights registered in France)

We regret that at the start of this year there have already been two deaths, in January and February; we are waiting to receive more information on the February accident.

In any case, it is strongly recommended that you service your aircraft at the start of the season and do not hesitate to contact an instructor for a return-to-flying flight.

Wishing everyone pleasant flights.
