FOREWORD
The National Transportation Safety Board, in accordance with the provisions of Title Vll of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (as amended) and Section 304 of the Independent Safety Board Act of 1974, has determined the probable cause(s) of th~ accidents repqrted herein.
The enclosed computer briefs are the reports of the Safety Board and thereby subject to the limitations of 49 USC 144l(e} whi'ch states:
"No part of any report or reports. of the Board, relating to any accidents or the investigations thereof, shall be admitted as evidence or used in any suit or action for damages growing out of any matter mentioned in such report or.reports."
This supplemental issue contains reports of aircraft accidents and incidents. that occurred in calendar year 1979 that have not been included in previous issues of Briefs of Accidents~ The briefs of these accidents/incidents have been assembled by the following categories:
1. U.S. Air Carrier accidents and incidents.
2. U.S. General Aviation accidents and incidents occurring in the United States, its territorie~ or possessions.
3. Foreign Air Carrier and Foreign General .Aviation accidents/incidents occurring in the United States, and investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board.
In addition, this issue contains several statistical tables which tabulate and sunmarize selected accident information, such as type of accident, phase of operation, injuries, cause/factor and pilot certificates for all U.S. General Aviation accidents occurring in 1979.
In reading these reports, it should be borne in mind that they are reproduced directly from coded records on magneti'c tape by electronic data processing equipment. Also, in reading the text, it must be borne in mind that computer language is utilized, thus requiring a number of abbreviations due to spacing limitations. Caution should be.exercised in reading the Briefs of Accidents, especially those containing abbreviations in phrases and sentences.
Collisions between aircraft are treated as one accident. A coded analysis is done on each aircraft involved in a collision. This produces two aircraft accident records per accident. Consequently, when compiling information on accidents involving collisions between aircraft, the number of accident records will exceed the number of accidents.

EXPLANATORY NQTES
U.S. GENERAL AVIATION
U.S. general aviation refers to the operations of U.S. civil aircraft owned and operated by persons, businesses, corporations, etc., excluding the operations of U.S. air carriers.
U.S. AIR CARRIER
U.S. air carrier operations include the following three operational categories: 1) certificated route air carriers 2) supplemental air carriers and 3) commercial operators of large aircraft.
DEFINITIONS
The following definitions contained in CFR 49, Part 830, paragraph 830.2 apply when used in this publication.
Aircraft Accident An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight unttl such time as all such persons have disembarked, and in which any person suffers death or serious injury as a result of betng 1n or upon the aircraft or by direct contact with the aircraft or anything attached thereto, or in which the aircraft receives substantial damage.
Fatal Injury Any injury whi'ch results in death within 30. days of the accident.
Serious Injury Any injury which l)_ requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, commencing within 7 days from the date the injury was received; 2) results in a fracture of any bone (except simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose); 3) involves lacerations which cause severe hemorrhages, nerve, muscle, or tendon damage; 4) involves injury to any internal organ; or 5) involves second- or third-degree burns, or any burns affecting more than 5 percent of the body surface.
Substantial Damage 1) Except as provided in subparagraph (2) of this paragraph, substantial damage means damage or structural failure which adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and whkh would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component. 2) Engine failure, damage limited to an engine, bent fai'rings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured holes i'n the ski"n or fabric, ground damage to rotor or propeller blades, damage to landing gear, wheels, ~ires, flaps, engine accessories, brakes~ or wingtips are not consldered "substantial damage" for the purpose of this part.

EXPLA~ATORY NOTES
INJURY INDEX
Injury index refers to the high.est degree of personal injury sustained as a result of the accident.
TYPE OF ACCIDENT
Type of accident relates to the innnediate circumstances of the occu~rence. Many accidents involve a sertes of circumstances and therefore requ1re a second type to more fully describe the sequence of events. Some examp 1 es of types of accidents are as f o 11 ows:
Gear Collapsed Collapse of the landing gear due to mechanical failure other than malfunction of the retracting mecha.nism.
Gear Retracted Retraction of the landing gear due to ma·lfunction or failure of the retracting mechanism or to fnadvertent retraction by the crew. Excludes intentional gear retractton and wheels~up landing. ·
Airframe Failure Occurrences resulting from failure of any part of the airframe while in flight or in motion on the ground. Excludes failure resulting from contact with another airplane or object, or impact with the ground, or damage from landing gear collapse or retraction.
Engine Failure/Malfunction Occurrences of engine failure or malfunction for any reason. Includes engine stoppage, power interruption, or power loss, actual or simulated.
PHASE OF OPERATION
The phase of operation relates to the particular segment of the flight or operation during which the circumstances of the accident occur.
KIND OF FLYING
Refers to the purpose for which the aircraft is being operated at the time of the accident. ·There are four broad categories of kind of flying.
1. Instructional Flying Refers to flying accomplished in supervised training under the direction of an accredtted instructor.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
KIND OF FLYING
2. Noncorrunerical Flying Refers to the use of an aircraft for purposes of plea~ure, personal transportation or in connection with a private business, in corporate/executive operations, and in other operations, wherein there is no direct monetary fee charged. It includes the following categortes.
Pleasure Flying by individuals in their own or rented aircraft for pleasure, or personal transportation not in furtherance of their occupation or company business.
Business The use of aircraft by pilots (not receiving direct salary or compensation for piloting} fn connection with their occupation or in the furtherance of a private business.
Corporate/Executi've Operations The use of aircraft owned or leased, and operated by a corporation· or business fi.rm for the transportation of personnel or cargo in furtherance of the corpora-tion's or firm's business, and which are flown by professional pilots receiving a direct salary or compensation for piloting.
3. Commercial Flying Commercial flying includes all general aviation flying normally conducted for direct financial return, except instructional flying. It includes air trod operations, aerial application, fire control, aerial mapping or photography, aerial advertising, power/pipeline patrol and fish spotting.
4. Miscellaneous Flying Includes other kinds of flying not covered under the other three broad categories. In some fnstances the criterion of direct financial return may or may not be present.
COLLISION BETWEEN AIRCRAFT
Collisions between aircraft are so classified only when both aircraft are occupied. This includes collisions wherein both aircraft are airborne (midair); one is airborne, the other on the ground; and both are on the ground. A coll is ion wi'th. a parked, un_occupied aircraft ts classified under the broad category of collisfon.wi'th objects (parked, unoccupied aircraft).

EXPLANATORY NOTES
CAUSES AND RELATED FACTORS
In determining probable cause(s) of an accident, all facts, conditions, and circumstances are considered. The object is to ascertain those cause-effect relationships in the accident sequence about which something can be done to prevent recurrence of the type of accident under consideration. Accordingly, for stattstical purposes where two or more causes exist in an accident, each is recorded and no attempt is made to establish a primary cause. Therefore, in the Cause and ·Related 'Factor Table, the figures shown i'n the columns deali'ng wi'th Cause will exceed the total number of ace idents. The term Factor is used, i·n gene·ra l , to denote those elements of an accident which further explain or supplement the probable cause(s). This provision was incorporated in the coding system to increase its flexibility and to provide a means for collecting essential items of information which could not be categorized elsewhere in the system.
AIRCRAFT WEIGHT CATEGORIES
The International Civil Aviation Organization's categories of aircraft weight are utilized to classify accident data as follows:
0 -2,251 -5,701 -
27,001 -272,001 -
2,250 kilograms 5, 700 kilograms
27, 000 kilograms 272,000 kilograms kilograms and greater
SMALL FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT
(0 - 4,960 pounds) (4,961 - 12,565 pounds}
(12,566 - 59,525 pounds) (59~526 - 599,650 pounds)
(59.9.651 pounds and greater)
Fixed-wing aircraft which have a maximum gross takeoff weight of 5700 kilograms (12,565 pounds), or less.· .
LARGE FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT
Fixed-Wing aircraft which have a maximum takeoff weight greater than 5,700 kilograms (12,565 pounds)..
ROTORCRAFT
Aircraft which in all usual flight attitudes are supported in the air wholly or in part by a rotor or rotors; i.e., by airfoils rotating or revolving about an axis.
TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS
The types of weather conditions (VFR/IFRl are detennined in accordance with the prescribed minima in Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. These minima pertain to the ceiling and visibility, in conjunction with the type of airspace, at the accident site. Type of weather conditions are based on surface weather as determined from officially recognized sources~ W~ather condition~ ~nco~ntered in flight are not necessarily representative of the class1f1catrnns VFR/IFR as· carried under Type of Weather Conditions.
