In this study, general aviation accident records from the files of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), have been analysed by gender to observe the number and rate of pilot-error related accidents from 1972 to 1981 inclusive. If both females and males have no difference in performance, then data would have indicated similarities of accident rates and types of injuries. Males had a higher rate of accidents than females, and a higher portion of the male accidents resulted in fatalities or serious injuries than for females.
Type of certificate, age, total flight time, flight time in type of aircraft, phase of operation, category of flying, degree of injury, specific cause factors, cause factor miscellaneous acts/conditions were analysed, taking the total number of United States Active Civilian General Aviation Pilots into consideration. The data did indicate a difference in all variables.

A change in the social environment during the decade of the 1970s, with the feminine movement, has opened to women many fields traditionally considered masculine occupations, education and leisure activities. The increased educational attainments by women in the past decade, documented in a study by Babladelis et al (1983), showed women earned 1% of the bachelor's degrees awarded in engineering in 1970 but 10% of such degrees in 1980. Over the same period, the portion of doctorates earned by women rose from 4-5% to 10"6% in the physical science, from 12"8% to 23.4% in life sciences, and from 23-5% to 40.8% in psychology. In medicine, the increase has been from 8-5% to 23%. In aviation, women obtained 4.4% of the certificates issued in 1972 and 6"3% of those issued in 1981.
