Richard Wood/Robert Sweginnis

Endeavor Books, 2006

Continues to be the seminal work on this topic.
The science of aircraft accident investigation is a very small field (and hopefully getting smaller every year!) but this book continues to be an important textbook for the practice of accident investigation. Well worth a read, if you need knowledge in this area.

Aircraft Accident Reconstruction and Litigation

Ph.D. Barnes W. McCormick, Myron P. Papadakis

Lawyers & Judges Publishing, 2003

This reference text is an invaluable tool for any attorney
The text is designed to interface the legal discipline with the aviation expert. Aircraft accident investigation is a multidisciplinary endeavour. Attorney's very often are not initiated in the many aspects of investigation technigues and methods. The aircraft accident investigator is not trained in the distinct differences in investigative technigue needed for courtroom rules of evidence. ...

MAYDAY: Accident Reports and Voice Transcripts from Airline Crash Investigations

4 reviews
Marion F. Sturkey

Heritage Press International, 2005

I'll never fly again
I've always found it interesting to read the details of airliner crashes in the newspaper, particularly when they include portions of the Cockpit Voice Recorder. This is the automatically recorded conversations of the Pilot and other air crew members immediately preceeding a crash. It is worrisome that so many passengers have lost their lives because numbskulls in the cockpit have simply ...

The authors have applied insights from cognitive psychology to nineteen flight-crew-related accidents.

In examining each accident, the ...

Robert Lindstrom, William Duncan Patterson Stewart

Fire Protection Publication, 2001

Good Introduction To Aircraft Rescue And Fire Fighting
This text, prepared by the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA), is a good introduction to aircraft (and airport) rescue and fire fighting. The book is easy to comprehend, yet is fairly detailed. There is a lot of good information on aircraft-specific fire fighting skills, as well as other relevant sections on issues like airport familiarization (lighting, markings, grid maps, ...

The Essential Book for Aviation Accident Investigations
I'm delighted with the level of detail in this book with a few reservations. The author is outstanding on technical detail for the most part. His information on technological advances needs improvement. I look forward to seeing more information on the use of GPS mapping of crash scenes as well as better information on interviewing techniques in the next edition. While the graphics are old, ...

Pilot Error: Anatomies of Aircraft Accidents

Editors of Flying Magazine

Van Nostrand Reinhold Co, 1977

A Very Good Choice of Examples
Flying Magazine had a bi-monthly feature called "Pilot Error" which was pretty much as described - an accident, retold and examined for lessons. This book has 25 of these, with more than enough stomach-churning for the rookie pilot. Basically the book pushes the fundamental rules of flying - when in doubt, choose the safer course, use common sense and don't over-react, and push your ...
