In the analysis of accidents a collision between aircraft is treated as one accident in the overall total. However, a complete analysis and coding is made on each aircraft involved in a collision. This produces two aircraft accident records, one for each aircraft. These records contain the same broad categories of coded data. The specific entries, such as type of aircraft, kind of flying, phase of operation, however, may or may not be common to each aircraft. As a result, the number of accidents may differ in the various tables depending upon whether or not collisions are involved and if so, whether or not the selected items of data are common to each aircraft. For example: In a table showing the number of accidents occurring in the various kinds of flying, if both of the colliding aircraft were conducting Pleasure Flying, one accident would appear in the Pleasure Flying column. However, if one aircraft was engaged in Pleasure Flying and the other was conducting Dual Instruction, the accident would appear twice, once in the Pleasure Flying column, and once in the Dual Instruction column.
