This investigation focused on the identification and analyses of factors that are potentially associated with fatal Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents involving commercial operators. Central to the objectives was an attempt to highlight differences between CFIT accidents of air taxi, regional and major carriers. The research focused on the evaluation of 156 CFIT accidents that occured in the 1988-1994 time frame. Details of the data sources, accident inclusion criteria, development of an appropriate accident causal factor taxonomy consists of the following groups, namely flight crew, environment, airport and approach, ATC, aircraft equipment, air carrier (organizational) and regulatory issues.
