Category Scope
03 Air Transportation and Safety
Includes passenger and cargo air transport operations; airport
ground operations; flight safety and hazards; and aircraft accidents. Systems
and hardware specific to ground operations of aircraft and to airport construction
are covered in 09 Research
and Support Facilities (Air). Air traffic control is covered in 04 Aircraft
Communications and Navigation. For related information see also 16 Space
Transportation and Safety; and 85 Technology
Utilization and Surface Transportation.
Definition
Air Transportation – The conveyance of cargo and passengers by means of airplanes, helicopters, and other airborne vehicles. NASA Thesaurus, Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Aircraft Safety – Techniques used to prevent aircraft failures or accidents; the degree to which an aircraft is free of the risk of malfunction or accidents. NASA Thesaurus, Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NASA Interest
Exhaustive Interest : All information dealing with air transportation, flight safety, aircraft accidents, and aircraft operating problems.
Selective Interest : Land transportation information that deals with transportation and safety to, from, and at airports.
