Time dependent variable measures were obtained for all major aircraft accidents between July 1971 and July 1974. Using these time dependent variables and functional forms of these variables, a regression analysis was performed for each of eight major aviation commands. By using these functional forms of the variables, a relatively high amount of variance in aircraft accident rate was accounted for at a high confidence level in some commands. When reviewing the results of the eight major commands considered, it was particularly noted that the variables most instrumental in explaining the variance in aircraft accident rate were not all pilot oriented but were variables interpreted as being related either to pilot experience level, pilot proficiency or aircraft condition.
