Data
Characteristics
I
was
researching
aviation
incidents
and
the
causes
of
each
Australian
state.
At
first,
I
just
looked
at
the
accidents
and
deaths;
however
there
were
other
aviation
factors
and
concerns
that
people
probably
do
not
know
about.
For
example,
there
are
various
incidents,
not
just
terrorist
attacks
that
contribute
to
aviation
safety.
What
was
the
most
interesting
cause
(in
my
opinion)
was
the
number
of
bird
strike
incidents
occurring
at
the
airports.
The
feedback
also
highlighted
that
this
perspective
was
very
interesting.
Datasets
This
table

major
airports
in
Australia.

That
graph
above
states
the
total
amount
of
bird
strikes
but
the
total
amount
of
planes
departing
and
arriving
is
different
in
each
state.
Hence
I
used
the
rate
of
bird
strikes
in
comparison
to
the
number
of
inbound
and
outbound
flights.
It
shows
a
clearer
amount
of
the
states
being
affected.

I
have
used
recent
data
from
2000
to
2008
because
previously
in
Australia,
reporting
birdstrikes
only
happened
when
there
was
major
damage
to
an
aircraft.
Pattern
My
data
attributes
were
the
number
of
bird
strikes,
the
total
number
of
incidents,
and
the
number
of
accidents.
The
pattern
I
found
out
was
no
matter
in
which
state,
the
number
of
aviation
incidents
has
maintained
a
stable
slow
increase,
however
the
number
of
bird
strikes
increased
dramatically.
