ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT RELIABILITY AND SAFETY ASSOCIATED WITHnAPPROACH AND LANDING OPERATIONS

摘要

The purpose of this study is to provide a sound and definitive analysis of aircraft approach and landing accident data to determine the safety level in U.S. civil and military aircraft approach and landing operations. The study includes: an evaluation of British data and statistics utilized by the Air Registration Board to establish their safety and reliability indices for aircraft approach and landing; a determination as to types of data concerning United States civil and military flight safety records and statistical techniques that would produce indices that could be compared with Air Registration Board indices; and establishment, through analysis of appropriate United States military and civil flight safety data, of indices for measuring United States experience.
