Welcome to the '''Aviation accident task force''', a joint project of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation|WikiProject Aviation]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management|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

==Notability guidelines==

Proposed notability guidelines are available for comment at [[WP:Aircrash]]. To help develop this, a record of accident/incident [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aviation accident task force/AfD record|AfDs]] has been built.

==Accident article naming conventions==
{{Shortcut|WP:AVTITLE}}

(Refer also [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events)#Aviation incidents]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming]])

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

:<code> <airline> Flight <flight number> </code>

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

:If there were two or more aircraft involved, or if the flight did not have a flight number assigned, use the "where and what" convention stated above. Avoid using the informal terms "plane" or "plane crash".

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

:<code> <airline> Flight <flight number> <year> </code>

: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:

:<code> <airline> Flight <flight number> <month + year> </code>

: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:

:<code> <year> <airline> <aircraft> <event> </code>

:or, if this is not possible,

:<code> <year> <place> <event> </code>

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

:<code> <group> <event> </code>

: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 [[WP:redirect|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]]

== Tagging and assessment ==
{{WPAVIATION Task force assessment|Aviation accident}}
Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding <code><nowiki>Accident-task-force=yes</nowiki></code> to the {{tl|WPAVIATION}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into [[:Category:Aviation accident task force articles]]. You can also add this to the talk page of images, categories, and templates. Cut and paste this code: <nowiki>{{WikiProject Aviation|Accident-task-force=yes}}</nowiki>
