Abstract

This report presents and describes 400 aviation accidents which occurred within five miles of an airport. Section 2 contains a description of the development of the database and a discussion of the criteria used in selecting accidents for the database. Section 3 provides a description of the database itself as well as a set of statistics that provide a comprehensive overview of the accidents. A set of aircraft accident contours developed from the accident data points is presented in section 4. The purpose of these contours is to provide a picture of the distribution of accidents over space. Section 5 contains a brief discussion of modeling aircraft accident location probability. A model is not developed in this report. The section also provides a brief discussion of the use of the database in examining airport operations and management strategy. The final section presents an approach to be used in a subsequent empirical investigation using the database supplemented with aircraft movenient data.
