Every accident is a chain. Each link is the why of the one above it.

The fatal collision is a what, and the forced landing is its why. The forced landing is a what, and the power loss is its why. The method builds that chain for every aircraft in every NTSB record.

outcome.fatal
  end.collision                       ← WHAT the user sees first
    end.forced_landing                ← its WHY … and the next WHAT
      crit.power_loss.total           ← WHY of the forced landing
        mech.fuel.starvation [C]      ← WHY of the power loss
          act.pilot.fuel_mgmt [C]     ← WHY of the starvation (root why)
      env.terrain [F]                 ← context: trees at the landing site

outcome: How bad it was
end: The final event: a collision, a forced landing
crit: The critical event that started it: a power loss, a stall
mech: The mechanism behind that: fuel, the engine, the airframe
act / env: What a person did, and the conditions around it

The worked example from the method’s specification, unedited. [C] marks what the NTSB coded as a cause, and [F] a factor. Pick any node as the “what” and the nodes under it are its “whys”.

Assets

Logo, colors, and type.

Mark

The project’s generated logo mark. The grid gets finer with the commit count, and the cells show the split between languages. It’s redrawn as the project grows.

Palette

The colors FRA Portal uses across this site: one hue from its discipline’s band, plus the shades that make it work on both dark and light backgrounds.

Type

The two typefaces on the site: a sans-serif for the interface and a serif for headlines.
