All rights reserved.IntroductionThe accident statistics presented in this summary are confined to worldwide commercial jet airplanes that are heavier than 60,000pounds maximum gross weight. Within that set of airplanes, there are two groups excluded:1) Airplanes manufactured in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)are excluded because of the lack of operational data; and2) Commercial airplanes operated in military service. (However, if a military-owned commercial jet transport is used for civiliancommercial service, those data will be included in this summary.)The following airplanes are included in the statistics:717 DC-8 A300 BAe 146 F-28 Concorde L-1011 BAC 1-11 Comet 4707/720 DC-9 A300-600 Avro RJ-70/-85/-100 F-70 Trident727 DC-10/MD-10 A310 CRJ-700/-900/-1000 F-100 Caravelle737 MD-11 A320/321/319/318 EMB-170/-190 Mercure747 MD-80/-90 A330CV-880/-990757 A340VC-10767 A380777787Flight operations data for Boeing airplanes are developed internally from airline operator reports. Flight operations data fornonBoeing airplanes are compiled from www.ascendworldwide.com, by Ascend. The source of jet airplane inventory data is JetInformation Services, Inc.Accident data are obtained, when available, from governmentaccident reports. Otherwise, information is from operators,manufacturers, various government and private information services, and press accounts.Readers may note that cumulative accident totals from year to year may not exactly correlate with the expected change from theprevious year’s accidents. This is a result of periodic audits of the entire accident history for updates to the data.Definitions related to development of statistics in thissummary are primarily based on corresponding International Civil AviationOrganization (ICAO), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) terms, as explained in thenextsection.22011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing. All rights reserved.DefinitionsAirplane Accident:An occurrence associated with the operation of an airplane that takes place between the time any person boardsthe airplane with the intention of flight and such time as all such persons have disembarked, in which:• Death or serious injury results from:– Being in the airplane; or– Direct contact with the airplane or anything attached thereto; or– Direct exposure to jet blast;Excluding:Fatal and nonfatal injuries from natural causes; andFatal and nonfatal self-inflicted injuries or injuries inflicted by other persons; andFatal and nonfatal injuries of stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew; andNonfatal injuries resulting from atmospheric turbulence, maneuvering, loose objects, boarding, disembarking,evacuation, and maintenance and servicing; andNonfatal injuries to persons not aboard the airplane; or• The airplane sustains substantial damage; or• The airplane is missing or is completely inaccessible.The following occurrences arenotconsidered airplane accidents – those that are the result of experimental test flights or theresult of a hostile action, including sabotage, hijacking, terrorism, and military action.Note: This is generally consistent with the ICAO and the NTSB definition of an accident (see the Referenced ICAO and NTSBDefinitions section). The differences are:1) The ICAO and NTSB references to “aircraft” were changed to “airplane” and references to propellers and rotors wereeliminated; and2) This publication excludes events that result in nonfatal injuries from atmospheric turbulence, maneuvering, etc.;nonfatal injuries to persons not aboard the airplane; and any events that result from an experimental test flight or fromhostile action, such as sabotage, hijacking, terrorism, and military action.Note: Within this publication, the term “accident” is used interchangeably with “airplane accident.”32011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing. All rights reserved.Definitions (continued)Destroyed:The estimated or likely cost of repairs would have exceeded 50 percent of the new value of the airplane had it still beenin production at the time of the accident.Note: This definition is consistent with the FSF definition. NTSB defines “destroyed” as damaged due to impact, fire, orin-flight failures to an extent not economically repairable.Fatal Injury:Any injury that results in death within 30 days of the accident.Note: This is consistent with both the ICAO and the NTSB definitions.Major Accident:An accident in which any of three conditions is met:• The airplane was destroyed; or• There were multiple fatalities; or• There was one fatality and the airplane was substantially damaged.Note: This definition is consistent with the NTSB definition. It also is generally consistent with FSF, except that the FSF definitionspecifies that fatalities include only occupants of the airplane. ICAO does not normally define the term “major accident.”Serious Injury:An injury which is sustained by a person in an accident and which:• Requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, commencing within seven days from the date the injury was received; or• Results in a fracture of any bone (except simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose); or• Involves lacerations which cause severe hemorrhage, nerve, muscle, or tendon damage; or• Involves injury to any internal organ; or• Involves second- or third-degree burns, or any burns affecting more than 5 percent of the body surface; or• Involves verified exposure to infectious substances or injurious radiation.Note: This is consistent with the ICAO definition. It is also consistent with NTSB’s except for the last bullet item, which is notincluded in the NTSB definition.42011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing. All rights reserved.Definitions (continued)Substantial Damage:Damage or failure which adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of theairplane, and which would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component.Substantial damage isnotconsidered to be:• Engine failure or damage limited to an engineif only one engine fails or is damaged• Bent fairings or cowlings• Dents in the skin• Small puncture holes in the skinNote 1. – This is generally consistent with the NTSB definition of substantial damage except: 1) It deletes reference to “punctureholes in the fabric” and “ground damage to rotor or propeller blades”; and 2) It deletes “damage to landing gear” from the list ofitemsnot considered to be substantial damage.Note 2. – ICAO does not define the term substantial damage. Still, the above definition is generally consistent with the ICAOdefinition of structural damage contained within part (b) of the ICAO accident definition.• Damage to wheels• Damage to tires• Damage to flaps• Damage to engine accessories• Damage to brakes• Damage to wingtips52011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing. All rights reserved.Boeing TermsThe terms on this page were created by Boeing for this publication and do not have corresponding equivalents in ICAO,NTSB, etc.Accident Rates:In general, this expression is a measure of accidents per million departures. Departures (or flight cycles) areused as the basis for calculating rates, since there is a stronger statistical correlation between accidents and departures than thereis between accidents and flight hours, or between accidents and the number of airplanes in service, or between accidents andpassenger miles or freight miles. Airplane departures data are continually updated and revised as new information and estimatingprocesses become available. These form the baseline for the measure of accident rates and, as a consequence, rates may varybetween editions of this publication.Airplane Collisions:Events involving two or more airplanes are counted as separate events, one for each airplane. For example,destruction of two airplanes in a collision is considered to be two separate accidents.Fatal Accident:An accident that results in fatal injury.Hull Loss:Airplane totally destroyed or damaged and not repaired. Hull loss also includes but is not limited to events in which:• The airplane is missing; or• The search for the wreckage has been terminated without it being located; or• The airplane is completely inaccessible.Note: Neither ICAO nor NTSB has a definition for hull loss.62011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing. All rights reserved.ExclusionsCertain airplanes and events are excluded from consideration as accidents in this summary. This is a complete list of thoseexclusions.Excluded AirplanesAirplanes manufactured in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) areexcluded because of the lack of operational data. Commercial airplanes operated in military service are also excluded. (However, ifa military-owned commercial jet transport is used for civilian commercial service, those data are included in this summary.)Excluded Events• Fatal and nonfatal injuries from natural causes;• Fatal and nonfatal self-inflicted injuries or injuries inflicted by other persons;• Fatal and nonfatal injuries of stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew;• Nonfatal injuries resulting from atmospheric turbulence, maneuvering, loose objects, boarding,disembarking, evacuation,and maintenance and servicing;• Nonfatal injuries to persons not aboard the airplane;• Experimental test flights (however, maintenance test flights, ferry, positioning, training, and demonstration flights arenot excluded);• Sabotage, hijacking, terrorism, and military action.72011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing.

All rights reserved.CAST/ICAO Common Taxonomy Team (CICTT)Aviation Occurrence CategoriesThe International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST), which includes governmentofficials and aviation industry leaders, have jointly chartered the CAST/ICAO Common Taxonomy Team (CICTT). CICTTincludes experts from several air carriers, aircraft manufacturers, engine manufacturers, pilot associations, regulatory authorities,transportation safety boards, ICAO, and members from Canada, the European Union, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the UnitedKingdom, and the United States. CICTT is co-chaired by a representative from ICAO and CAST.The team is charged with developing common taxonomies and definitions for aviation accident and incident reporting systems.Common taxonomies and definitions establish a standard industry language, thereby improving the quality of information andcommunication. With this common language, the aviation community's capacity to focuson common safety issues is greatlyenhanced.The CICTT Aviation Occurrence Taxonomy is designed to permit the assignment of multiple categories as necessary to describethe accident or incident. Since 2001, the Safety Indicator Steering Group (SISG) has met annually to assign CICTT occurrencecategories to the prior year’s accidents.In a separate activity, the CAST assigned each accident to a single principal category. Those accident assignments and a briefdescription of the categories are reported in the preceding chart.The CAST use of principal categories has been instrumental infocusing industry and government efforts and resources on accidentprevention. Pareto charts using principal categories are usedby CAST to identify changes to historic risk and to help to determine ifthe safety enhancements put in place are effective.For a complete description of the categories go to: http://www.intlaviationstandards.org/212011 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JULY 2012Copyright © 2012 Boeing.
