Select an accident from the NTSB Database or similar official reports for international accidents: https://ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/index.aspx

Learning Goal: I’m working on a english writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Objective: This Project provides the opportunity to apply Block I knowledge to various accident scenarios.

To this end, you will write a report that will identify and classify errors found in accident reports. Requirements:

1. Select an accident from the NTSB Database or similar official reports for international accidents: https://ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/index.aspx
2. Identify one primary major error leading to the accident (skill based, perceptual, or decision based).
3. Additionally, construct an error chain leading to the accident. Characterize an additional type of error within a link of the error chain.
4. The accident analysis must contain:
   1. Synopsis – a brief overview of the facts of the accident avoiding assertions and analysis
   2. Analysis – identifying the error and explaining the reasoning behind the classification.
   3. Theories and Models – apply material you learned in Block I to some aspect of the accident (i.e. Reason’s Model, Attention Types, Multiple Resource Theory, etc…)
5. The accident analysis will be between 2 and3 pages, single-spaced, in length depending upon the complexity of the accident.

The accident you choose for your report can be anything from a small, general aviation accident at a local airport close to your home-town to a major international airline accident. Find something that interests you and share what you discover.
