ed by using the following expression: P C N A A j ij j j M i L = = = ∑ ∑ 1 1 where: M = number of different types of aircraft using the airport L = number of flight trajectories affecting the site C j = probability per square mile of a crash per aircraft movement, for the jth aircraft Nij = number (per year) of movements by the jth aircraft along the ith flight path Aj = effective plant area (in square miles) for the jth aircraft The manner of interpreting the individual factors in the above equation may vary on a case-by-case basis because of the specific conditions of each case or because of changes in aircraft accident statistics. 3.5.1.6-8 Revision 4 - March 2010 Values for C j currently being used are taken from the data summarized in the following table: Distance From End of Runway (miles) Probability (x108) of a Fatal Crash per Square Mile per Aircraft Movement U.S. Air Carrier1 General Aviation2 USN/USMC1 USAF1 0B1 16.7 84 8.3 5.7 1B2 4.0 15 1.1 2.3 2B3 0.96 6.2 0.33 1.1 3B4 0.68 3.8 0.31 0.42 4B5 0.27 1.2 0.20 0.40 5B6 0 NA3 NA NA 6B7 0 NA NA NA 7B8 0 NA NA NA 8B9 0.14 NA NA NA 9B10 0.12 NA NA NA 1.

NA indicates that data were not available for this distance. 4. Designated Airspaces. For designated airspaces involving military or civilian usage, a detailed quantitative modeling of all operations should be verified. The results of the model should be the total probability (C ) of an aircraft crash per unit area and time in the vicinity of the proposed site. The probability per year of a potentially damaging crash at the site from operations at the facility under consideration ( PM ) is then given for this case by the following expression: P C A M = × 3.5.1.6-9 Revision 4 - March 2010 where: C = total probability of an aircraft crash per square mile per year in the
