Book excerpt: Excerpt from Accident Investigations of Recent F-14 and Av-8b Mishaps: Hearing Before the Military Procurement Subcommittee of the Committee on National Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, Hearing Held April 16, 1996 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:01 a.m., in room 2118, Raybum House Office Building, Hon. Duncan Hunter (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Opening Statement Of Hon. Duncan Hunter, A Representative From California, Chairman, Military Procurement Subcommittee Mr. Hunter. The subcommittee will come to order. This morning, we welcome Representative Bob Clement and witnesses from the Navy and the Marine Corps to discuss the recent F-14 and AV-8B mishaps. As my colleagues are aware, three F-14's and three AV-8B's have crashed since the beginning of the year. Several of these involve fatalities. In the case of the F-14 crash in Nashville, three civilians were also killed. We owe it to our service personnel, their families, and the families of those who died in the residential Nashville neighborhood to examine carefully the causes of these recent accidents. The safety record of these aircraft and whether or not this subcommittee needs to take any action to improve Navy and/or Marine Corps aviation safety is also at issue. Throughout this subcommittee's hearings on the administration's fiscal year 1997 defense budget request, I have expressed my concern that the services' modernization accounts are being used as bill payers for shortages in two areas, personnel and readiness. We must ask if there are things the services could have done to improve the safety of these aircraft but were unable to do because of a lack of modernization resources. As some have reported, are the services in the difficult position of having to choose between combat upgrades or safety improvements? In addition, of concern to me is whether the increase in op tempo has played any part in these accidents. There have been reports that Carrier Air Wing 2, a Miramar-based unit to which one of the three F-14's that crashed was assigned, has experienced a higher op tempo than usual. The air wing recently completed a 6-month deployment aboard the Lincoln in October 1995 and is preparing for another deployment in October of this year. Typically, an air wing has 18 months between deployments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating story explains how aviation crashes are investigated, and what goes on behind the scenes to improve safety. It is also the untold saga of how one maverick scientist battled the bureaucracy to save lives. Federal officials hired him to prevent an anticipated bloodbath from airline deregulation. He soon introduced innovations, such as Crew Resource Management training, which dramatically reduced airline accidents. However, when he dared expose lies to Congress, officials used the sky marshals to harass him. They then ignored his other programs, which contributed to countless unnecessary deaths -- including JFK Junior's. Becoming a military safety guru, his important tasks included training Air Force One crews, and going undercover to discover why a mysterious Soviet airliner crash killed an African president. But he was fired for blowing the whistle on the Pentagon cover-up of the worst fratricide since Vietnam. Congress and other important organizations have often sought his advice on civil and military aviation problems.
