Case studies in aviation accidents and investigative findings

Drawing on final reports from military and foreign-government investigations, this volume examines major commercial, military, and general-aviation accidents through individual case files. It lays out pilot and flight backgrounds, event chronologies, the investigative process, official findings, and subsequent recommendations or policy changes. The book also includes preview summaries for accidents whose final reports were not yet available. Technical material is framed in lay language, making the emphasis less on aviation theory alone than on how investigators reconstruct what happened and identify safety lessons. Featured cases include ValuJet 592, TWA 800, US Air 427, and the 1999 crash involving John F. Kennedy Jr.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Aviation enthusiasts interested in accident investigation
  • Pilots and aviation professionals seeking case-based safety material
  • Readers wanting accessible explanations of official aviation findings

Fascinating and factual accounts of the world’s most recent and compelling crashes
Industry insiders James Walters and Robert Sumwalt, trained aviation accident investigators and commercial airline pilots, offer expert analyses of notable and recent aircraft accidents in this eye-opening, lesson-filled case file. Culled from final reports issued by military and foreign government investigations, as well as additional research and resources, Aircraft Accident Analysis tells the final and full tales of doomed flights that stopped the world cold in their wake.
Technical accuracy and details, presented in layman’s language, help to clarify:
Major accidents from commercial, military, and general aviation flights
Pilot backgrounds and flight histories
Chronology of events leading to each accident
Description of aviation investigation process
Insight into NTSB, military, and foreign government findings
Resulting recommendations, requirements, and policy changes
