Welcome to the Aviation accident task force, a joint project of WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Disaster management.

Goals

• To improve the quality of articles documenting
  accidents and incidents in aviation
  , as well as those dealing with other aviation safety issues

Scope

Articles dealing with any of the following topics:

• Individual incident/accident articles
• Lists of aviation incidents and accidents
• Articles dealing with advances in aviation safety rules and technology

Proposed notability guidelines are available for comment at

(Refer also Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming)

• For commercial aircraft with a known flight number, the standard article name structure is:

<airline> Flight <flight number>

For example: Korean Air Lines Flight 007, American Airlines Flight 77

• However, if the airline had two same flight numbers for different years, mention the year in '()' such as:

<airline> Flight <flight number> <year>

For example: Aeroflot Flight 3739 (1976), Aeroflot Flight 3739 (1988)

• If the accident was in the same year with the same flight number, then mention the month, along with the year:

<airline> Flight <flight number> <month + year>

For example: Linea Aeropostal Venezolana Flight 253 (June 1956), Linea Aeropostal Venezolana Flight 253 (November 1956)

• For articles on air accidents without a flight number, the title should be in the format:

<year> <airline> <aircraft> <event>

or, if this is not possible,

<year> <place> <event>

unless the accident is notable for the involvement of a particular group, in which case the format should be:

<group> <event>

College sports teams should include the full school name rather than the mascot (for example, Wichita State University football team plane crash). If the incident has a flight number, this format should be used as a redirect.

• For further disambiguation, the year can be added (see for example 1926 Air Union Blériot 155 crash). Some flexibility can be exercised. Examples:
  • 2006 New York City plane crash
  • 1999 South Dakota Learjet crash
  • 2007 Mogadishu TransAVIAexport Airlines Il-76 crash
  • 2007 Blue Angels South Carolina crash

• Exceptions: if the event has acquired a popular name, that name should be used. Examples:
  • Tenerife airport disaster
  • The Day the Music Died
  • Munich air disaster
  • Gimli Glider
