2. Flight accident measurement and characters
2.1 Flight accident measurement
According to the number of accidents
According to accident rates of different
classification accidents
Accident rates for different flight, i.e. transportation and general flight
Accidents per 1,000,000 Flight Hours
(accidents/ flight hours*1,000,000)
Accidents per 1,000,000 Departures
(accidents/ flights*1,000,000)
Fatality per 100,000,000 Passenger Miles Flown
(fatalities/(passengers * miles flown)*100,000,000)
Million Passenger Enplanements per Passenger Fatality
And so on
