Question
As an FAASTeam Representative, I'm working on a presentation involving LOC (loss of control) during takeoffs and landings.  I've searched the NTSB and FAA websites for statistics from 2005 (and 2006) with no luck.  Do you know of any websites (or have stats) showing GA LOC during takeoffs and landings in 2005 and/or 2006?

Thanks,

Barry Chametzky
FAASTeam Representative

Have you tried the AOPA ir Safety Foundation? Their annual Nall Report may have what you need. It presents an overview of the previous year's general aviation accident statistics, including trends and contributing factors. Download each years report here-
http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/nall.html

It lists takeoff phase accidents at about 15% of the total. Perhaps you can get the accident reports and info used to create this statistic directly from the AOPA ASF if you don't find what you need in the report.

Good Luck
