Safety in Figures
RASU
The table below summarises the accident statistics recorded from 1 January to 04 April 2018, ranking victims by severity and distinguishing purely material-damage accidents.
The monthly statistics are updated according to the latest known information (see the graph below), although not all minor accidents may appear in the current month because they sometimes reach us late.
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 four deaths.
As a rule at the start of the year, it is strongly recommended to service your aircraft and, by analogy, it is also wise to “check” the pilot's performance coming out of hibernation. So do not hesitate to contact an instructor for a return to flying if necessary. (see our video “What if we did a REV?”)
Wishing everyone pleasant flights.
