    Abstract
    Energy management and energy state awareness are important concepts in aircraft safety analysis. Many loss-of-control accidents can be attributed to poor energy management. Energy-based metrics provide a measurable quantity of the energy state of the aircraft and can be viewed as an objective currency to evaluate various safety-critical conditions. In this work, we have surveyed key energy-based metrics from various domains and identified the challenges of implementing these metrics for General Aviation operations. Modifications to existing metrics and definition of some new energy metrics are proposed. A methodology is developed that can be used to evaluate and visualize the energy metrics. These energy metrics can then be used to understand and enhance General Aviation aircraft safety using retrospective flight data analysis.
