This book was released on 1997 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to make recommendations regarding ways to reduce the rate of military aviation accidents, and, more importantly, to reduce the recent rise in loss of life that accompanies these avoidable events. The following specific tasks were outlined in the Terms of Reference (TOR): TOR#1: Determine the need/value of a joint program to require a standardized process for reporting and assessing the causes of accidents. TOR#2: Determine the effectiveness of methods presently used to disseminate lessons learned to help prevent accidents. TOR#3: Recommend new approaches to reduce the incidence of recurring safety problems. These problems include accident causal factors such as human error and controlled flight into terrain. TOR#4: Assess the need for a DoD-wide Human Performance network to improve the identification and dissemination of lessons learned across the Services. TOR#5: Recommend new approaches to institutionalize risk management within the Services, and TOR#6: Provide recommendations concerning flight safety technologies that should be installed on each type of aircraft.

Book excerpt: Military aviation safety is a concern to policy makers in both the Department of Defense (DoD) and Congress. DoD is concerned about improving safety because aviation accidents erode DoD's war fighting capabilities in many tangible and intangible ways. DoD aviation accidents are classified by the severity of injury or property damage. Class A accidents are the most severe events and the rate at which these accidents occur is the most frequently used yardstick for measuring aviation safety. The Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the military Services (including the Coast Guard) have different roles and responsibilities in military aviation safety promotion and mishap investigations. Generally speaking, the Services have the most active and involved role in promoting aviation safety. The Services conduct two types of mishap investigations, generally referred to as safety investigations and legal investigations. In the commercial and civil sector, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducts a single investigation. The status of military aviation safety depends heavily on one's viewpoint. There is no consensus on how well the Services are doing in promoting and improving aviation safety. Some believe that the current mishap rate is acceptable. Others believe that it is unacceptable and can be improved. Others believe that DoD should strive for, and achieve, a "zero mishap rate." Over the past 50 years, data show that the total annual number of accidents and the rate at which they occur have significantly decreased. However, this improvement appears to have stagnated over the past 10 years. Comparisons of safety between the military and the civilian world, between the U.S. military and foreign militaries, between the different military Services, and between different aircraft types may offer some perspective on the state of aviation safety in the U.S. military. While it is easy to see the negative effects of aviation accidents, determining and mitigating accident causes are often more difficult. Many factors can contribute to a single accident. Frequently, "conventional wisdom" does not apply when identifying the leading causes of aviation mishaps. Aircraft age and increased operations tempo (OPTEMPO) are frequently claimed to cause accidents. However, the relationship between these factors and mishaps is unclear. It does appear clear, however, that human error is a leading cause of mishaps. Those who wish to promote safety and to improve upon today's military aviation safety record may consider a variety of approaches. Focusing senior leaders in DoD on the problem may help. "Fencing off" money in DoD's budget specifically for safety is another cited approach. Tying aircraft procurement funding to a desired or acceptable Class A mishap rate may be considered, as may more aggressive fielding of numerous flight safety technologies.

Book excerpt: The FAA and the military services often face common aviation safety issues as they oversee the operation of similar aircraft, or even dissimilar aircraft that use common parts and materials. However, they have taken different actions to address similar aviation safety concerns. This report used a case study approach supplemented by a review of FAA's and DoDs aviation safety oversight processes and related interdepartmental communication efforts to: (1) examine different responses by FAA and DoD/mil. services to similar aviation safety concerns, and (2) assess the processes used by FAA and DoD to communicate info. about similar aviation safety concerns.

Book excerpt: This evaluation was initiated in response to a request from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment), to conduct a process review of the Military Service's implementation of the DoD policy as stated in DoD Instruction 6055.7, "Mishap Investigation, Reporting, and Recordkeeping". April 10, 1989. The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment) asserted that improving aviation safety was a major objective of DoD. Military Department aviation safety programs focused on the reduction and prevention of aviation mishaps; however, aviation mishaps continued to injure people and caused property damage and losses. During FY 2000, the Services experienced a total of 57 class ilAls aircraft mishaps, which resulted in 58 deaths and 44 aircraft destroyed. A class "A" mishap occurred when the reportable damage was $1 million or more; there was total destruction of the aircraft; or an injury resulted in a fatality or permanent total disability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety of aircraft is a paramount concern in both civilian and military aviation because safety deficiencies can cost lives and equipment and affect mission accomplishment. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the military services often face common safety issues as they oversee the operation of similar aircraft or even dissimilar aircraft that use common parts and materials. Preliminary work, however, showed that in some cases FAA and the military services have taken different actions to address similar aviation safety concerns. We recognize that there could be reasonable explanations for FAA and the military services taking different approaches in addressing such concerns.

Book excerpt: The Air Force System Safety Handbook was prepared as a resource document for program office system safety managers and system safety engineers. It is not designed to answer every question on the topic of system safety nor is it a cookbook that guarantees success. The handbook provides considerable insight to the general principles, objectives, and requirements of applying system safety concepts to the Air Force system acquisition and logistical support processes. Programs vary greatly in their scope and complexity, requiring a tailored system safety effort. Assigned to this difficult task are military and government personnel with varied education and experience backgrounds. These system safety practitioners need a comprehensive understanding of the system safety process and the complexities of applying it to a given program. This handbook will assist in providing much of the necessary information but additional, more detailed guidance will be required from the program office and their higher headquarters system safety experts. The ultimate objective of any organization within the Air Force is maximizing combat capability. One element in this maximizing process is protecting and conserving combat weapon systems and their support equipment. Preventing mishaps and reducing system losses is one important aspect of conserving these resources. System safety contributes to mishap prevention by minimizing system risks due to hazards consistent with other cost, schedule, and design requirements. The fundamental objective of system safety is to identify, eliminate or control, and document system hazards. 1.0 Introduction To System Safety * 2.0 System Safety Policy And Process * 3.0 Risk Assessment * 4.0 System Safety Program * 5.0 System Safety Program Plan (Sspp) * 6.0 Other Management Tasks (Ref 30) * 7.0 Design And Integration Tasks * 8.0 Design Evaluation, Compliance, And Verification * 9.0 Analysis Techniques * 10.0 System Safety Life-Cycle Activities * 11.0 Program Office System Safety * 12.0 Contracting For System Safety * 13.0 Evaluating Contractor System Safety * 14.0 Facilities System Safety * 15.0 Supplementary Requirements * 16.0 Nuclear Safety * 17.0 Explosives Safety * 18.0 System Safety In Logistics * 20.0 Test And Evaluation Safety
