FOREWORD

The National Transportation Safety Board, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (b) (1) of the Department of Transportation Act of October 15, 1966, has determined the probable causes of the accidents reported herein.

The publication, containing reports of U. S. Civil aircraft accidents, in brief format, is issued monthly and includes those accidents analyzed and processed during the preceding month.

The reports are reproduced directly from the coded record on magnetic tape by electronic data processing equipment. Due to .spacing limitations a number of abbreviations are used. For the benefit of those readers not familiar with these abbreviations an interpretation of their meaning is included along with explanatory notes on the following pages.

The cause factor, accident types, operational phases, and kinds of flying, contained in this report have been tabulated for your convenience.

Collisions between aircraft are treated as one accident. A complete analysis and coding is done on each aircraft involved in collisions. This produces two aircraft accident records, one for each aircraft involved in the collision. Consequently, when compiling information on accidents involving collisions between aircraft, the number of accident records will exceed the number of accidents. The injury and cause/related factor tables show the number of accidents. All other analytic tables show both records and accidents.

The Briefs of accidents contain the essential items of information which fulfill the requirements of the majority of persons using these reports. However, for those having a need for more detailed information, the original factual reports on each accident are on file in the Washington Office of the National Transportation Safety Board. Upon request, these reports will be reproduced commercially at an average cost of 15¢ per page for printed matter and 75¢ per page for photographs, plus postage. (Minimum Charge $1.00).

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.

Orders for this material will also involve a $2.00 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.

Request for reproduction should be forwarded to the:

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Type of Accident:

The type of accident relates to the circumstances involved in the accident. Briefly, it indicates what happened.

Phase of Qperation:

The phase of operation relates to the particular segment of the flight or operation during which the circumstances of the accident occur. In other words, where in the flight the circumstances took place.

First and Second T;ype of Accident:

Two separate types may be coded in any one accident. The selection of first and second type is made in relation to the sequence of occurrence.

In those occurrences wherein more than two types or circumstances are involved, the selection of types is made considering the circumstances which may be of the greatest value from the standpoint of safety study. In such cases the two types selected are coded as first and second according to .sequence of occurrence.

A secondary type is not normally used when the occurrence is the inevitable result of a prior occurrence resulting in the loss of control. Generally this pertains to collisions with ground or objects.

First and Second Phase of Operation:

The phase of operation is directly related to the type of accident. When more than one tYIJe is coded for an accident, each type will have a corresponding phase. In other words, the first phase of operation will be that phase of flight in which the first tyiJe or circumstance occurred. In the event that the first and second type both occur -in one operational phase, the same phas~ is coded twice.

Cause and Related Factors

In determining the probable cause of an accident, all facts, conditions and circumstances are considered. 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 iSll'S'ed, in general, to reflect those elements of an accident which further explain or supplement the probable Qause(s). This provision was incorporated in the coding system to increase its flexibility and to provide a means for collecting essential items of information which could not be readily categorized elsewhere in.the system.
