Civil Aviation Safety: Part 4—Accident Severity

Abstract

The previous articles in this series have concentrated on fatal accidents. This was done for two reasons. First a fatal accident is a more significant consequence of lack of safety than is a non‐fatal one. Second, the data available about fatal accidents are generally more complete and reliable. There are however other measures of risk which can usefully be considered in looking at the picture of safety as a whole.
