1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
On July 17, 1996, a Boeing model 747-131 operated by Trans World Airlines, Inc., (TWA)
exploded in flight shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
This tragic accident launched the most complicated and comprehensive wreckage recovery,
aircraft reconstruction, and accident investigation in the history of commercial aviation. An
investigation headed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has not, as of this date,
determined the primary cause of the accident. Information gathered from the investigation
suggests that the airplane’s center wing fuel tank exploded. However, the ignition source remains
unidentified.
In the wake of this accident, the collective realization emerged that additional information needed
to be gathered regarding the condition of airplane fuel tank systems in the world fleet. Because
effective action and enlightened regulation both depend on a solid grounding in facts and data, it
became clear that the industry needed to develop a comprehensive understanding of
! How and to what degree the fuel tank systems of the world fleet are aging in service.
! What effects environmental factors such as geographic distribution might have over time on
airplane fuel tank systems.
1.2 About the Aircraft Fuel System Safety Program (AFSSP)
Consequently, the industry in 1997 committed itself to assessing the state of the in-service fleet
around the world. To accomplish this ambitious goal, the AFSSP was formed. Participants in this
voluntary industry program include present and past turbine-powered airliner manufacturers,
airlines, industry organizations, and airworthiness authorities from around the world. The
following mission statement has guided and focused the efforts of the AFSSP:
“Through worldwide industry collaboration, take appropriate action to ensure, maintain,
and enhance the safety of fuel systems throughout the life of the aircraft.”
