Directions

To this end, you will write a report that will identify and classify errors found in accident reports.

Requirements:

1. Select an accident from the NTSB Database or similar official reports for international accidents: https://ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/index.aspx
2. Identify one primary major error leading to the accident (skill-based, perceptual, or decision-based).
3. Additionally, construct an error chain leading to the accident. Characterize an additional type of error within a link of the error chain.
4. The accident analysis must contain:
   1. Synopsis – a brief overview of the facts of the accident avoiding assertions and analysis
   2. Analysis – identifying the error and explaining the reasoning behind the classification.
   3. Theories and Models – apply the material you learned in Block I to some aspect of the accident (i.e. Reason’s Model, Attention Types, Multiple Resource Theory, etc…)
5. The accident analysis will be between 3 pages, single-spaced, in length depending upon the complexity of the accident.

The accident you choose for your report can be anything from a small, general aviation accident at a local airport close to your hometown to a major international airline accident. Find something that interests you and share what you discover.
