Talk:List of accidents and incidents involving general aviation

Non-GA accidents should be removed from this list
I am afraid that this list has started to wander away from its subject, namely "general aviation" accidents.

Examples:

- January 29, 2013 – SCAT Airlines Bombardier CRJ200 airliner

- April 13, 2013 - Lion Air Boeing 737-800; both are definitely not GA accidents.

- February 13, 2013 – Ukrainian Antonov An-24 plane

- March 4, 2013 – Fokker 50 cargo airplane; those two most probably are no GA accidents.

The definition in para 1 may be misleading potential contributors: "... i.e. not military or scheduled airline flights."

In order to clarify this my suggestion is to replace it by the definition in the article General aviation, namely: "all civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire." --Uli Elch (talk) 10:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * You are right I have removed the entries, need to think about better wording. MilborneOne (talk) 13:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I deleted the sentence from this crash description that stated the crash led Congress to mandate ELTs for aircraft. It didn't, as explained on the Hale_Boggs and emergency beacon page under History/United States. Kotaqua (talk) 03:39, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
