National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a series of general aviation safety alerts that address the most frequent types of general aviation incidents. According to the agency, each year about 475 pilots and passengers are killed and hundreds more are seriously injured in general aviation incidents in the U.S., putting general aviation on NTSB's most-wanted list. The agency says that in many of the 1,500 incidents it investigates each year, pilots did not have adequate knowledge, skills or training to fly safely. An added concern is glass cockpit displays, which present a new layer of complications for general aviation pilots.
