NASDAC Review of NTSB Weather-Related Accidents

The NASDAC Analysis Staff performed a study of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Accident and Incident Database to identify aviation accidents where weather was a causal or contributing factor to an accident. Data was analyzed to find relationships between the type of weather involved and the various factors such as operating rules of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), type of operation, light condition, and phase of flight.
