Did you know... that Vickers Viscount G-ALWE crashed on approach to Ringway Airport, Manchester when a bolt on the starboard flap mechanism failed?

Making a table

out of this list might be a good idea:

Date	Airline	Plane number	Details
27 August 1952	United Kingdom's Ministry of Supply	G-AHRF	Operated by the Ministry of Supply was damaged beyond economic repair at Khartoum International Airport when the starboard undercarriage collapsed on landing.^[1]
31 October 1954	Trans Australia Airlines	VH-TVA	The plane was written off at Mangalore Airport, Victoria when it crashed shortly after take-off, killing three of the eight crew.^[2]
20 January 1956	British European Airways	G-AMOM	The plane crashed on take-off from Blackbushe Airport when the training pilot mishandled the controls for the starboard engines when simulating an engine failure on take-off.^[3]

Sorry, I disagree there. List works better as bulleted prose. Mjroots (talk) 13:18, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Should contain some of the more common reasons the plane crashed, anyone know of any defaults, etc? -- Esemono (talk) 12:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too much WP:OR would be required to do this. The obvious one is pilot error, although there were a few structural failures early on. Mjroots (talk) 13:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

Dont like the flags they are just being used for decoration. MilborneOne (talk) 21:00, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flags provide a link to the country. Not for decoration but as a method of identification of the location. This is common to many lists across where a number of locations are involved. Mjroots (talk) 13:20, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are actual CAB and Air Accident investigation Branch Reports Acceptable for citation?

Governmental accident reports such as those generated by the CAB, Air Accident investigation Branch, and Australian Transport Safety Bureau are detailed documents far more useful than the abstracts provided at the Aviation Safety Network he Bureau of Aircraft Accidents.

The problem is that they are self-published and primary sources.

Some might deem them unacceptable for citation for those reasons

what is considered acceptable?.

Mark Lincoln (talk) 19:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they are acceptable for details of fact and the conclusions that they make. MilborneOne (talk) 18:54, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
