This report presents the results of a review of data from 120 commuter and air taxi airplane accidents that occurred from 1978 through 1986. The main objectives of this study are (a) to present the severe, but survivable impact condition data from the accident database and (b) to formulate appropriate crash design impact parameters. In 1980 the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center (FAATC) initiated the Aircraft Crashworthiness Program, which resulted in a compilation of commuter airplane accident data. The program's objectives were (a) to define potentially survivable commuter airplane crash scenarios and (b) to provide impact parameters associated with the appropriate crash scenarios. Based on the data that was received, a crash survivable design envelope was defined for commuter airplanes.
