All accidents and incidents involving Australian registered
aircraft, or foreign aircraft in Australian airspace, must be
reported to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). The ATSB
maintains its own database (Occurrence Analysis and Safety
Information System) in which all reports assessed by the ATSB as an
accident, incident or serious incident are recorded. The Weekly
Summary lists those notifications entered into the Bureau's
database over the previous week. The data provided is not a
reflection of those occurrences reported to the ATSB for the same
reporting period.
Note: The Weekly Summary may be read in
conjunction with the related Abbreviations,
Investigation
Categories and Occurrence Log
Descriptors. From 8 April 2005 the list of occurrences
reported to the ATSB included in the weekly summary contains a
brief discription of the reported occurrence. For a copy of the
summary from the ATSB database please contact the ATSB by emai: atsbinfo@atsb.gov.au
