Notes regarding table data columns

Deaths

• Total (Tot): The total number of fatalities associated with the accident or incident.
• Crew (C): The number of crew fatalities.1
• Passenger (P): The number of passenger fatalities.
• Ground (G): The number of ground (non-flying) fatalities.
• Notes (N): The presence of a cross (†) denotes that all passengers and crew were killed. The presence of a one with an asterisk (1*) indicates the accident or incident had a sole survivor.

Type

Occurrences have been coded to allow for identification and sorting by group membership (accidents and related incidents versus attacks).

Accidents and related incidents

• "COM": Commercial aircraft
• "MIL": Military aircraft

Any collision between a commercial and military aircraft is coded COM.

Attacks and related incidents

• "INB": Internal attack involving a pre-planned bomb (without hijacking).
• "INH": Internal attack to commandeer of aircraft. Use of weapons (including a bomb or other explosives) for this purpose is coded in this category.
• "EXG": External attack originating on the ground (e.g., ground to air missiles, destruction of the aircraft while on the runway).
• "EXS": External attack originating in the sky (e.g., intentional downing by a military aircraft).

^{[nb 4]}

Location

To provide some indication of distance between the site and the nearest location, the following three descriptors are applied:

• none: No descriptor appears before the location name. The site was within 20 km (12.5 mi) of the location.
• "off": Used only for those aquatic crash sites within 20 km (12.5 mi) of the location.
• "near": The site was approximately 20 km to 50 km (12.5 mi to 31 mi) from the location.
• "area of": The crash site was over 50 km (31 mi) from the location provided.

The names of occurrence locations are based on their present-day names.

Phases of flight

The phases of flight are those defined by the joint Commercial Aviation Safety Team/ICAO Common Taxonomy Team. ^[19]

• Standing (STD): Prior to pushback/taxi, after gate arrival, or stationary and parked.
• Taxi (TXI): Moving under own power, prior to takeoff or after landing.
• Take off (TOF): Initiation of takeoff power, pulling back on controls, through to 10 m (35 ft) altitude.
• Initial climb (ICL): End of TOF to the first of: initial prescribed power reduction, 300 m (1000 ft) altitude, or VFR pattern.
• En route (ENR): End of ICL, through descent, to initial approach (IFR) or 300 m (1000 ft) above runway elevation (VFR).
• Maneuvering (MNV): Only for low altitude flight (observation, photography) or aerobatics.
• Approach (APR): From IAF or 300 m (1000 ft) elevation to landing flare.
• Landing (LDG): Landing flare through to exit from runway.
• Unknown (UNK): Unable to determine phase of flight.

Airports and distance

Airports associated with occurrences at all phases of flight (except ENR) are represented by their three-letter IATA airport code. In some cases, no IATA code is reported/assigned in which case the four-letter ICAO code is used. In rare instances (e.g., active or decommissioned military bases or closed airports whose civil codes have been reassigned), no codes exist. These airports are represented with three asterisks "***" in place of letters. Distance from the point of impact to the airport runway is provided for occurrences during the initial climb (ICL) and approach (APR) phases. On occasion, distance is provided for occurrences during takeoff (TOF) and landing (LDG) if the aircraft impacted within the aerodrome, but not on the runway.
