Please note: Acident Prevention was
one of the seven separate FSF publications that were superseded by AeroSafety
World in
2006. Some printed copies are still available, and issues dating back
a number of years can be read online and downloaded through the links
to the left. Use the search engine at the top of the page to locate issues
with information about specific topics.
Major aviation
accidents are news in the days immediately following an accident, when
little usually is known about the causal factors, and speculation is rampant.
Only after many months of official investigation is a final accident investigation
report published. That report may contain hundreds of pages of highly
technical information.
Generally, each issue of Accident Prevention
presents an in-depth examination of a commercial or corporate aircraft accident,
based on an official accident investigation report. The report’s essential
facts and findings are edited to produce a clear narrative — without
editorial comment — of the accident and the subsequent investigation.
Accident Prevention fills the gap between nonspecialist reporting,
which can be superficial (and inaccurate), and official accident investigation
reports, which typically are lengthy, highly technical and not readily available
to the public. For aviation professionals, as well as others who
want to understand aircraft accidents beyond “headline journalism,”
Accident Prevention is important reading.
Monthly. Established 1948. Two-color newsletter, 8-inch x 10-inch
format, usually four to 16 pages.
