Occurrences have been coded to allow for identification and sorting by group membership (accidents and related incidents versus attacks).
The phases of flight are those defined by the joint Commercial Aviation Safety Team/ICAO Common Taxonomy Team.
Distance from the point of impact to the airport runway is provided for occurrences during the initial climb (ICL) and approach (APR) phases.
On occasion, distance is provided for occurrences during takeoff (TOF) and landing (LDG) if the aircraft impacted within the aerodrome, but not on the runway.
