The general aviation industry recently has expressed a desire to more fully apply crash worthiness technology to aircraft. However, real-world data on the reaction of the airplane, its components, and the occupants to a crash, are needed to develop design criteria. As part of its ongoing work in the area of general aviation crashworthiness, the Safety Board has undertaken a special program of investigation that will provide the real-world data necessary to establish an envelope of typical general aviation accident impact deceleration loads and to describe crash scenarios for a range of general aviation accidents for which design for passenger survivability is feasible. This report, the first of a projected series, explains the Safety Board's crashworthiness program, its objective, and its goals. It presents a description of the crashworthiness analysis methodology used, demonstrates its validity, and provides an example demonstrating its application.
