2.2 Creating a Database

As described in section 2, GA events are released to the public in monthly bulletins and so in order to create a database of incidents these records were analysed for a period from January 2005 until January 2007. For the purposes of clarity, the accident scenarios used involved single-engine piston fixed wing light (5,700 kg/5.7 t maximum gross weight or less) GA aircraft, e.g. the Cessna 152 or Piper Warrior.

Due to the nature of current reporting methods, as described in section 2, and the limits of information released to the public it is not possible to create comprehensive information networks for individual, or grouped, events. However, the investigation of a new method should not be limited by current restrictions or shortcomings and instead should look to developing reporting based on the method and not vice versa. On that basis, each of the AAIB formal report transcripts were studied and, using no additional external information so as to limit bias, a database of factors reported in the accident was developed. The constituent incidents were classified by the AAIB primarily in terms of ‘causative’ and ‘outcome’ events. Further data, including date of flight, aircraft type, licence held, hours flown in recent time and total, nature of flight and stage of flight, were recorded. Table 5.1 presents a sample of factors recorded for the accidents as playing a key role. The method of deducing the factors to be used can be likened to the method of retrieving noun-like words to create information elements in Chapter 3.
