The NATIONAL AIR DISASTER ALLIANCE/FOUNDATION (NADA/F) was founded by air crash survivors and victims’ family members to raise the standard of Safety, Security and Survivability for aviation passengers, and to Support victims’ families. We address the short-term and long-range challenges to promote the highest levels of aviation safety and security so that others are not harmed. At times we are the only aviation safety group on record opposing unsafe practices. We incorporated as non‑profits in 1995 and have grown considerably since then.
NEW! Join us October 8 -10, 2010 for an Annual Meeting to learn more about the latest developments in airline safety and security. We are pleased to announce that Deborah Hersman, NTSB Chair, will be our Keynote Speaker and will address these issues. It’s NADA/F at its best, bringing people together, with time to socialize and learn more about each other.

On behalf of our members worldwide,

Our goal is to make it easier for you to access Daily Aviation News, receive email updates, contact our Board Members, reach out for Assistance, learn more about our Safety accomplishments, Goals and more. There are many ways for you to get involved:
- We remember loved ones – Check out Who We Are, How We Do It Who We Represent, and our Memorial Calendar. If your crash is not included, please contact us with the details (date, airline, where, type of equipment, etc.). If you would like to be a contact person for your group, let us know your name and full contact information.
- Aviation disaster websites. Please let us know if your disaster has a website or something specific such as historic information so that we are able to LINK to that information.
- Air Crash Memorials. Send us photos of your memorial, and information to share with others about how you established your memorial. Please send a CD copy of your memorial photos or photos that do not need to be returned to the NADA/F address, or let us know if there is a website link to your memorial. We look forward to hearing from you.

NEW! The ICING Lawsuit End “Déjà Vu disasters!”
NADA/F filed a lawsuit against the FAA and the US DOT on February 24, 2009 on behalf of air crash family members and the traveling public to compel the DOT and FAA to end the 15+ years delays on regulatory changes to prevent aviation disasters such as Continental Connection 3407 on Febrary 12, 2009 at Buffalo, NY, and many other icing disasters. The FAA did issue a Final Rule for airframe ice protection on August 3, 2009, however, there is still much work to do. Learn More.
