On the basis of all non-utility landing accidents for fixed-wing aircraft in USAF in the three years 1962-64, it is demonstrated that there is a very high correlation between landing accident rates and landing speeds. Furthermore, this relationship varies more rapidly than linearly, in fact approximately as a third-degree curve. It is not intended to suggest that landing speeds are the 'cause' of landing accidents, but the high correlation demonstrated does imply that landing speed is one of the significant parameters involved in the process.
