Airline Accident Rates

These accident rates are not safety ratings. There are many factors that contribute to the safety rating of an airline including, but not limited to, accident history, maintenance and operational procedures, types of training programs, age of fleet and specific routes flown.

In addition there are different ways to analyze past accident data including using number of hours flown, passenger miles completed or number of trips made. The accident rates below are based on only three basic parameters. Number of flights, the number of fatal accidents and the fatality rate of those accidents. The methodology is listed below the tables.

Aviation accidents are extremely rare, with the probability of a passenger being killed on a single flight at approximately eight million-to-one. If a passenger boarded a flight at random, once a day, everyday, it would statistically be over 21,000 years before he or she would be killed.

DISCLAIMER These accident rates should not be used to provide an assessment of an airline’s safety profile or future risk of an accident. These rates are derived from past accidents and not an estimate or prediction of future risk. There are many additional factors in judging the safety of an air carrier which are not included here. These rates are not meant to endorse or condemn any particular airline or group of airlines nor are they intended to persuade or dissuade use of any particular airline. The accident rates and method of calculation of the accident rates are solely the opinion of this web site and the creator is not responsible for how this information is used and will not be held legally responsible for any consequences arising from the use of this information. There are numerous commercial organizations that provide complete and extensive safety ratings of commercial air carriers.

Data for number of flights provided by OAGback Aviation Solutions



Regional Rank = rank of airline accident rate within airlines geographical region
Million Flights = number of departures
Fatal Events = number of flights on which at least one passenger was killed
Adjusted Fatal Event = see explanation below
Last Event = the year in which the last fatal accident took place (dates in parenthesis are accidents not included in the calculations because they are older than 20 years)
Accident Rate = see explanation below
Overall Rank = rank of airline accident rate including all airlines

The lower (more negative) the number in the "Accident Rate" column the better the rate.

Methodology:

The Accident Rate is calculated as follows:

Accident Rate = D - (A *(B/C))

Where:

A = number of million flights completed by the airline
B = adjusted fatal events for all airlines
C = number of million flights for all airlines
D = adjusted fatal events of the airline

The Adjusted Fatal Event is calculated as follows:

The actual fatal events is adjusted downward depending on what percentage of people were killed in each accident. The calculation of "D" or Adjusted Fatal Events is illustrated in the following example.

An airline has 3 accidents involving fatalities:
In the first accident 120 out of 120 passengers are killed.
In the second accident 75 out of 150 passengers are killed.
In the third accident 5 out of 200 passengers are killed.

120/120 = 1
75/150 = 0.5
5/200 = 0.025

Instead of 3 actual fatal events, the Adjusted Fatal Events becomes, 1 + 0.5 + 0.025 or 1.525.

Search Engine Statistic

membaca profil pengguna internet
Kata apa yang paling dicari sepanjang 2004? Di mana statistik search engine terkini bisa didapatkan?

Paris Hilton dan Britney Spears adalah cewek paling dicari! Statistik yang dipublikasikan 3 search engine, yaitu Google, Yahoo!, Lycos menempatkan keduanya di daftar 10 besar pencarian sepanjang 2004.

Google!

1. Britney Spears
2. Paris Hilton
3. Christina Aguilera
4. Pamela Anderson
5. Chat
6. Games
7. Carmen Electra
8. Orlando Bloom
9. Harry Potter

4. Britney Spears
5. Nick Berg
6. KaZaA
7. Tattoos
8. Pamela Anderson
9. Michelle Vieth
10.Poker


Melihat sekilas statistik tersebut, mungkin tidak salah jika disimpulkan secara cepat bahwa sebagian besar pengguna internet adalah mereka yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah atau kuliah. Terlihat juga bahwa dunia hiburan: musik, film, dan olah raga, mendominasi statistik tersebut, yang berarti sebagian besar memanfaatkan internet for fun!

Yang menarik, nama-nama artis seksi bertebaran: Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, Orlando Bloom, Clay Aiken. Melihat hasilnya, ketertarikan secara seksual boleh dibilang mendominasi, mengingat statistik semacam ini biasanya sudah memfilter kata-kata atau frase yang secara eksplisit bermuatan seksual, seperti “sex” dan semacamnya. Lihat saja bagaimana Janet Jackson, artis yang bisa dibilang “sudah lewat zamannya” bisa masuk 10 besar di Lycos. Ini tak lain karena pada awal tahun 2004 Janet Jackson membuat sensasi heboh dengan mempertontonkan sebagian tubuhnya “secara tidak sengaja” pada saat jeda Super Bowl.

Google menyediakan statistik bulanan dengan istilah Google Zeitgeist, dimana anda bisa tidak hanya bisa statistik secara keseluruhan seperti pada tabel di atas, namun juga berdasarkan kategori, seperti berita apa yang paling dicari, artis cewek yang paling dicari, dan sebagainya. Juga pencarian yang berkaitan dengan event pada bulan yang bersangkutan, misalnya pencarian yang berkaitan dengan valentine di bulan Februari. Untuk statistik tahun 2004, Google menyediakan statistik yang dipresentasikan secara interaktif menggunakan Flash. Terpilihnya SBY sebagai presiden RI dan juga bencana tsunami di Aceh disebut-sebut di presentasi interaktif tersebut. Google juga menyediakan data dari berbagai penjuru dunia, misalnya dari Jerman, Prancis, Australia, Cina, dan sebagainya.

Yahoo! juga memiliki statistik serupa yang dinamakan Yahoo! Buzz Log. Statistik di-update secara harian. Untuk laporan tahun 2004, Yahoo! juga memilah-milah pencarian dalam beberapa kategori, dan dilengkapi juga dengan grafik yang cukup menarik, misalnya “War of the Trilogies” yang menyajikan grafik perbandingan pencarian antara 3 film trilogi yang populer, yaitu Star Wars, Hary Potter, serta Lord of the Rings.

Lycos juga punya Lycos 50 yang menyajikan statistik mingguan, yang disertai penjelasan secara deskriptif. Statistik tahun 2004 juga disertai uraian deskriptif serupa, lengkap dengan analisis tren di tahun 2005.

Statistik dapat memberikan gambaran mengenai tren yang terjadi. Mengenai pemanfaatannya, tentu tergantung pada kebutuhan masing-masing. Untuk meneliti selera pasar, untuk menentukan target market, atau... just for fun, seperti yang dilakukan para pengguna internet ini!
