1.0 Introduction

Business Aviation has established a record as one of the world’s safest forms of transportation. Professionally flown aircraft of all sizes are operated on unscheduled routes to all corners of the globe, yet the safety record continues to be excellent in spite of the very challenging operat-ing environment.
The exemplary safety record of business aviation can be attributed to professionalism and at-tention to safe operating practices.  The business aviation community promotes safety through industry standards and good training, as well as through monitoring and analysing safety infor-mation to facilitate continuous improvement.  The business aviation representative associations assist operators by providing safety data and programs in their respective countries.  The Council representing the national and regional associations at the global level, the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC), has in turn developed a program to collect and analyse worldwide information. To that end, IBAC has contracted with Robert Breiling and Associates to develop global data on business aircraft accidents. 
Summary information presented in this Brief is taken from the analysis conducted by Robert Breiling and Associates in 2010.  Breiling’s detailed Report contains information on accidents from all regions of the world.
This Business Aviation Safety Brief covers a five year period from 2005 to 2009.  IBAC will up-date the Brief annually and the IBAC Planning and Operations Committee (POC) will review the information continuously to determine useful trend data.  In addition, the IBAC Governing Board has determined that the Safety Brief will be scrutinized from time to time by independent or-ganizations and feedback will be considered by IBAC’s POC.
This summary data includes all accidents involving aircraft when used in conducting business operations. It does not include accidents of business aircraft when used in airshows and other non-business related flying.
Listings of Business Jet and Turboprop accidents that occurred in the preceding calendar year
(i.e. 2009) are contained in Appendices A & B. 
The compilation, analysis and publication of safety data is an essential foundation for the devel-opment of measures to prevent accidents and thus, is not a means unto itself. In this regard, and as a separate IBAC initiative, the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) was introduced in 2002 and was designed to raise the safety bar by codifying safety best practices.
Recognizing that it will be many, many years before safety data will reflect the impact of the IS-BAO, IBAC commissioned an independent, retrospective analysis to subjectively assess the extent to which (i.e. in terms of probability) had the IS-BAO been implemented by the operator concerned the accident could have been prevented. A synopsis of the findings of this study are presented in Section 5.0.
2009 Highlight Summary
In previous editions of the Safety Brief the editors have refrained from providing comment and information pertaining to annual safety data and performance.
