Abstract

This paper we are going to talk about the problem facing for most aviation companies for analysing and comparing commercial aviation accident statistics, using some examples of commercial aircraft accidents and how aviation companies works through to solve the cause of the accident. As the commercial airlines have improved domestically, great number accidents have occurred as well and due to this, we will also talk about the safety that can be improved on to prevent such accidents again.

Introduction

The commercial airline industry have become a very safe mode of travel through the years of aircrafts travelling around the

Comparing and Analysing of Aviation Accidents

Throughout the years of aviation accidents, investigators have been researching and analysing accident reports to study the cause of the accident to identify and increase the chances to find the lead for the accident and thereafter implement new safety rule and regulation by recommending correct actions to be taken. (Clinton V. Oster Jr., 2013)

Research shows that the global aviation safety data involves analysis of safety data that needs taxonomy for the data set. Differences between the set of data can be risky due to similar analysis but base on different taxonomy can be confusing. An example will be if Boeing accidents reports had certain commercial aircraft used with 60,000 lb MTOW meaning this statistic will include most large aircraft statistics but not necessarily includes the safety aspect of other aviation system. This means that when looking for statistics, it is mandatory to know the correct taxonomy before used. (Sky Brary: Aviation Safety Performance Report and Statistics,

They provide safety rules and regulation to all transportation for U.S. such as aviation, railroad, highway, marine, pipeline and hazardous material safety for the U.S. NTSB was founded in the late 1967 by an Independent Safety Board Act determine to conduct accident investigation and implement safety rules and regulations by evaluating them.

Through public actions and decision accident report, NTSB studies their accident report and conducts special investigation to implement safety standards through U.S. to prevent any further accidents. (Sky Brary: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), 2018)

Objective NTSB is such an experience accident investigation agency, that foreign agency calls NTSB for their expertise and knowledge to assist for the investigation. The accident that NTSB chooses for investigation is not just an ordinary accident but is selected for the purpose of implementing it into reports for it to be used for studies for future engineers about aviation safety and as well as inventing new ideas and projects to prevent such accidents
