Previous research and results of the present study lend support to the concept of developing a taxonomy of factors or causes in aircraft mishaps. Twenty-five years of mishap research related to psychophysiological and environmental factors was reviewd to determine the most frequently occurring variables. Twenty-one of these were identified and classified into a tentative taxonomy under three functions: Equipment - Physical Environment, Management System, and Operator. Sixteen definitions related to these factors were available to analyze for reliability and relationship to the taxonomy functions. A survey form was developed which included the above definitions and nine selected aircraft mishap summaries. This instrument was administered to a Flight Safety Officer School class and a group of naive subjects of equivalent age and years of education. The task to be performed was to rate the presence or absence of these 'causes' in each of the mishap summaries. Data analysis performed included the computation of mean agreement rates, inter-case consistency, intercorrelations of selected variables, and comparison of mean agreement rates and judged clarity of the definitions.
