The ATSB maintains its own database, the Safety Investigation Information Management System (SIIMS), in which all reported occurrences are logged, assessed, classified and recorded. The information contained within SIIMS is dynamic and subject to change based on additional and/or updated data.
Occurrences are those notifications received by the ATSB that are assessed to meet accident and incident definitions for the purpose of entry into SIIMS. The legal basis for this assessment changed from 1 July 2003 with the introduction of the Transport Safety Investigators Act/Regulations 2003.
New statistical format
The ATSB has changed the way in which aviation statistics are presented. All statistics will be incorporated in a report and can be opened for viewing or downloaded. The report encompasses a rolling10-year reporting cycle and replaces all individual spreadsheets previously available on the ATSB website. The data will be updated on a quarterly basis with the latest results available within 30 days of the end of each quarter.
Non-VH registered sports aviation aircraft data are not included in these statistics.
The report contains the following data:
a. Aviation occurrence data, 1998 to 2007
b. Number of aviation accidents for air transport, general aviation and recreational aviation, 1998 to 2007
c. Number of aviation fatalities for air transport, general aviation and recreational aviation, 1998 to 2007
d. Accident rates per 100,000 hours flown for air transport, general aviation and recreational aviation, 1998 to 2006
e. Number of accidents by State/Territory, 1998 to 2008
f. Number of fatalities by State/Territory, 1998 to 2008
g. Number of birdstrikes for major aerodromes GAAP aerodromes and towered regional aerodromes, 2000 to 2008.
Where 2008 data has been referred to, this includes data up to 30 June 2008.
Coming soon: the Aviation Occurrence Database (AOD)
The ATSB is pleased to announce the proposed introduction of a user-based request domain, the Aviation Occurrence Database (AOD). The AOD will allow users to extract data about aviation accidents and incidents using a basic set of parameters derived from the ATSB's SIIMS database. For the novice, a set of defined reports will be available for viewing while the more adventurous can create their own queries. The AOD will be available through the ATSB's website.
The AOD is expected to be available in late 2008.
