2000 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JUNE 2001
Introduction
The accident statistics presented in this document apply to worldwide commercial jet airplanes that are heavier than 60,000 pounds
maximum gross weight with the following exceptions:
• Airplanes manufactured in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (former Soviet Union) are excluded because of the lack
of operational data.
• Commercial airplanes in military service are excluded.
717 DC-8 A300 BAe 146 F-28 Concorde L-1011 BAC 1-11 Comet 4
707, 720 DC-9 A300-600 RJ-70/-85/-100 F-70 Trident
727 DC-10 A310 F-100 Caravelle
737 MD-11 A320, A319, A321 Mercure
747 MD-80/-90 A330 CV-880/-990
757 A340 VC-10

Airplane flight time and departures are primarily obtained from airplane and engine manufacturer compilations. Flight operations data
for non-Boeing manufactured airplanes are augmented by the AirCraft Analytical System (ACAS) electronic database that is published
by AvSoft, Limited, of Rugby, England.
Accident data are obtained, when available, from government accident reports. Otherwise, information is solicited from operators,
manufacturers, various government and private information services, and press accounts. Definitions related to development of
statistics in this book are primarily based on corresponding International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) terms as explained in the
next section. Some variations to the ICAO definitions are applied to facilitate the purposes of this document.

2000 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JUNE 2001
Definitions
Events in this publication are classified according to the following definitions. These definitions are consistent with those
of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Airplane accident: An occurrence associated with the operation of an airplane that takes place between the time any person boards
the airplane with the intention of flight and such time as all such persons have disembarked, in which:
• Airplane sustains substantial damage.
• Death or serious injury results from:
– Being in or upon the airplane.
– Direct contact with the airplane or anything attached thereto.
– Direct exposure to jet blast.
Hull loss: Airplane damage that is substantial and is beyond economic repair. Hull loss also includes events in which:
• Airplane is missing.
• Search for the wreckage has been terminated without it being located.
• Airplane is substantially damaged and inaccessible.
Substantial damage: Damage or structural failure that adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics
of the airplane and would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component. Substantial damage is not
considered to be:
• Engine failure or damage limited to an engine if only one engine fails or is damaged.
• Bent aerodynamic fairings.
• Dents in the skin.
• Damage to landing gear.
• Damage to wheels.
• Damage to tires.
• Damage to flaps.
Fatal injury: An injury that results in death within 30 days as a result of the accident.

2000 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JUNE 2001
Definitions (continued)
Generation: Airplane types are classified by generation groups in order of introduction to service as follows:
5
2000 STATISTICAL SUMMARY, JUNE 2001
Terms and Exclusions
Regional identification: Events are identified by operators’ national domicile and not by event location.
Airplane collisions: Events involving two or more airplanes are counted as separate events for each airplane. For example, total
destruction of two airplanes in a collision is considered two separate hull loss accidents.
Accident Rates: In general, this expression is a measure of accidents per million departures. Departures (or flight cycles) are used
as the basis for computing rates, since there is a stronger statistical correlation between accidents and departures than there is
between accidents and flight hours, or between accidents and the number of airplanes in service, or between accidents and passen-
ger miles. Airplane departures data are continually updated and revised as new information and estimating processes become
available. These form the baseline for the measure of accident rates and, as a consequence, rates may vary between editions of this
publication.
Excluded accidents:
• Experimental test flight accidents. (Maintenance test flights, ferry, positioning, training and demonstration flights are included.)
• Nonfatal injuries resulting from atmospheric turbulence, maneuvering, loose objects, boarding, disembarking, evacuation, and
maintenance and servicing.
