This database has been constructed by R.G.W. Cherry & Associates Limited on behalf of the Airworthiness Authorities participating in the Cabin Safety Research Technical Group. Further information on the CSRTG may be found on the following web site www.fire.tc.faa.gov/cabin.stm

The latest version contains accidents up to 2009. A new release of the database has been published in May 2010.

All data have been derived from reliable sources, primarily from Accident Investigating Authorities. However, for some accidents it has not been possible to source an official accident report. For those accidents, R.G.W. Cherry & Associates are pleased to be working with the Aviation Safety Network to incorporate additional accident information onto the Database.

Records are stored for transport category passenger aircraft (with 19 or more passenger seats) and cargo aircraft certificated under Part 25 requirements or equivalent. The database contains photographs and diagrams as well as textual and numerical data. The database will be reviewed periodically and data added when available.

The database is freely available for use as a resource for improving aviation safety. Its production has been made possible by the financial support of the following authorities:

Transport Canada
UK Civil Aviation Authority
US Federal Aviation Administration

The database has now been upgraded to a web-based version.
