METHOD FOR DETERMINING RISK TO GROUND FACILITIES FROM AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS

This paper has attempted to outline the steps necessary to perform a credible assessment of the risk to ground facilities from aircraft accidents. Some preliminary aircraft accident and operation data at the Amarillo International Airport in Texas were presented as an example. Future work would require estimating the location of the accidents as a function of distance from the runways and overlaying this estimate with the location of various facilities near Amarillo.
