FOREWORD
The National Transportation Safety Board, in accordance with the
provisions of Title VII of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (as
amended) and Section 304(a) of the Independent Safety Board Act of
1974, has determined the probable cause(s) of the accidents
reported herein.
This publication is issued fifteen (15) times per year and
contains approximately 300 U.S. Civil aircraft accident reports
arranged in state and date order. In addition, each issue contains
statistical tables which tabulate and slllII1Ilarize selected
accident information, such as injuries, causal factors and injury
index. Care should be used when interpreting this tabular data
because they are compiled from a random selection of accident
records and they do not necessarily reflect an accurate statistical
distribution for a total year's accident record. A supplemental
issue, released as the final publication for a year, will contain
additional statistical tables for all accident records during that
year.
The enclosed computer briefs are the reports of the National
Transportation Safety Board and thereby subjec~ to the limitations
of 49 USC 144l(e) which states:
"No part of any report or reports of the Board, relating to any
accident or the investigation thereof, shall be admitted as
evidence or used in any suit or action for damages growing out of
any matter mentioned in such report or reports."
In reading these reports, it should be borne in mind that they
are produced directly from coded records on magnetic tape_ by
electronic data processing equipment. Also, in reading the text, it
must be borne in mind that computer language is utilized, thus
requiring a number of abbreviations due to spacing limitations.
Caution should be exercised in reading the Briefs of Accidents,
especially those containing abbreviations in phrases and
sentences.
Collisions between aircraft are treated as one accident. A coded
analysis is done on each aircraft involved in a collision. This
produces two aircraft accid~nt records per accident. Consequently,
when compiling information on accidents involving collisions
between aircraft, the number of accident records will exceed the
number of accidents.
The Briefs of Accidents contain the essential information which
fulfill most requirements of persons using these reports. However,
for those having a need for more detailed information, the original
factual reports are on file in the Washington Office of the
National Transportation Safety Board. Upon request, these reports
will be reproduced commercially for a fee to cover reproduction and
postage. The cost will be assessed per printed page and
photograph(s) reproduced.
Copies of material ordered will be mailed from the Washington
business firm that holds the current contract for commercial
reproduction of the Board's public files. Billing is also direct to
you by the same company.
- ii -
-
Orders for this material will also involve a user service charge
by the Board for special services. This charge is in addition to
the cost of commercial reproduction of material and will be
included in the bill from the commercial reproduction firm.
Requests for reproduction should be forwarded to the:

EXPLANATORY NOTES
U.S. GENERAL AVIATION
U.S. general aviation refers to the operations of U.S. civil
aircraft owned and operated by persons, businesses, corporations,
etc., excluding the operations of U.S. air carriers.
U.S. AIR CARRIER
U.S. air carrier operations include the following three
operational categories: 1) certificated route air carriers 2)
supplemental air carriers and 3) commercial operators of large
aircraft.
DEFINITIONS
The following definitions contained in CFR 49, Part 830,
paragraph 830.2 apply when used in this publication.
Aircraft Accident An occurrence associated with the operation of
an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards
the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all
such persons have disembarked, and in which any person suffers
death or serious injury as a result of being in or upon the
aircraft or by direct contact with the aircraft or anything
attached thereto, or in which the aircraft receives substantial
damage.
Fatal Injury Any injury which results in death within 7 days of
the accident.
Serious Injury Any injury which 1) requires hospitalization for
more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date the
injury was received; 2) results in a fracture of any bone (except
simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose); 3) involves
lacerations which cause severe hemorrhages, nerve, muscle, or
tendon damage; 4) involves injury to any internal organ; or 5)
involves second- or third-degree burns, or any burns affecting more
than 5 percent of the body surface.
Substantial Damage 1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2) of
this paragraph, substantial damage means damage or structural
failure which adversely affects the structural strength,
performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and which
would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected
component. 2) Engine failure, damage limited to an engine, bent
fairings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured.holes in the skin
or fabric, ground damage to rotor or propeller blades, damage to
landing gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories, brakes,
or·wingtips are not considered "substantial damage" for the purpose
of this part.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
INJURY INDEX
Injury index refers to the highest degree of personal injury
sustained as a result of the accident.
TYPE OF ACCIDENT
Type of accident relates to the immediate circumstances of the
occurrence. Many accidents involve a series of circumstances and
therefore require a second type to more fully describe the sequence
of events. Some examples of types of accidents are as follows:
Gear Collapsed Collapse of the landing gear due to mechanical
failure other than malfunction of the retracting mechanism.
Gear Retracted Retraction of the landing gear due to malfunction
or failure of the retracting mechanism or to inadvertent retraction
by the crew. Excludes intentional gear retraction and wheels-up
landing.
Airframe Failure Occurrences resulting from failure of any part
of the airframe while in flight or in motion on the ground.
Excludes failure resulting from contact with another airplane or
object, or impact with the ground, or damage from landing gear
collapse or retraction.
Engine Failure/Malfunction Occurrences of engine failure or
malfunction for any reason. Includes engine stoppage, power
interruption, or power loss, actual or simulated.
PHASE OF OPERATION
The phase of operation relates to the particular segment of the
flight or operation during which the circumstances of the accident
occur.
KIND OF FLYING
Refers to the purpose for which the aircraft is being operated
at the time of the accident. There are four broad categories of
kind of flying.
1. Instructional Flying Refers to flying accomplished in
supervised training under the direction of an accredited
instructor.
- vi -
-
EXPLANATORY NOTES
KIND OF FLYING
2. Noncommerical Flying Refers to the use of an aircraft for
purposes of pleasure, personal transportation or in connection with
a private business, in corporate/executive operations, and in other
operations, wherein there is no direct monetary fee charged. It
includes the following categories.
Pleasure Flying by individuals in their own or rented aircraft
for pleasure, or personal transportation not in furtherance of
their occupation or company business.
Business The use of aircraft by pilots (not rece1v1ng direct
salary or compensation for piloting) in connection with their
occupation or in the furtherance of a private business.
Corporate/Executive Operations The use of aircraft owned or
leased, and operated by a corporation or business fiTin for the
transportation of personnel or cargo in furtherance of the
corpora-tion's or firm's business, and which are flown by
professional pilots receiving a direct salary or compensation for
piloting.
3. Commercial Flying Commercial flying includes all general
aviation flying normally conducted for direct financial return,
except instructional flying. It includes air taxi operations,
aerial application, fire control, aerial mapping or photography,
aerial advertising, power /pipeline patrol and fish spotting~
4. Miscellaneous Flying Includes other kinds of flying not
covered under the other three broad categories. In some instances
the criterion of direct financial return may or may not be
present.
COLLISION BETWEEN AIRCRAFT
Collisions between aircraft are so classified only when both
aircraft are occupied. This includes collisions wherein both
aircraft are airborne (midair); one is airborne, the other on the
ground; and both are on the ground. A collision with a parked,
unoccupied aircraft is classified under the broad category of
collision with objects (parked, unoccupied aircraft).

EXPLANATORY NOTES
CAUSES AND RELATED FACTORS
In determining probable cause(s) of an accident, all facts,
conditions, and circumstances are considered. The object is to
ascertain those cause-effect relationships in the accident sequence
about which something can be done to prevent recurrence of the type
of accident under consideration. Accordingly, for statistical
purposes where two or more causes exist in an accident, each is
recorded and no attempt is made to establish a primary cause.
Therefore, in the Cause and Related Factor Table, the figures shown
in the columns dealing with Cause will exceed the total number of
accidents. The term Factor is used, in general, to denote those
elements of an accident which further explain or supplement the
probable cause(s). This provision was incorporated in the coding
system to increase its flexibility and to provide a means for
collecting essential i terns of information which could not be
categorized elsewhere in the system.
AIRCRAFT WEIGHT CATEGORIES
The International Civil Aviation Organization's categories of
aircraft weight are utilized to classify accident data as
follows:
0 -2,251 -5,701 -
27,001 -272,001 -
2,250 kilograms 5,700 kilograms
27,000 kilograms 272,000 kilograms kilograms and greater
SMALL FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT
(0 - 4,960 pounds) (4,961 - 12,565 pounds)
(12,566 - 59,525 pounds) (59,526 - 599,650 pounds)
(599,651 pounds and greater)
Fixed-wing aircraft which have a maximum gross takeoff weight of
5700 kilograms (12,565 pounds), or less.
LARGE FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT
Fixed-Wing aircraft which have a maximwn takeoff weight greater
than 5,700 kilograms (12,565 pounds).
ROTORCRAFT
Aircraft which in all usual flight attitudes are supported in
the air wholly or in part by a rotor or rotoTs; i.e., by airfoils
rotating or revolving about an axis.
TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS
The types of weather conditions (VFR/IFR) are determined in
accordance with the prescribed minima in Part 91 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations. These minima pertain to the ceiling and
visibility, in conjunction with the type of airspace, at the
accident site. Type of weather conditions are based on surface
weather as determined from officially recognized sources. Weather
conditions encountered in flight are not necessarily representative
of the classifications VFR/IFR as carried undeT Type of Weather
Conditions.
