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.

Download or read book Flight Accidents in the 21st Century U S Air Force written by Henry Bond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mid-flight noncombat mishaps and blunders occur frequently in the USAF during training and utility flights--sometimes with the loss of life and regularly with the destruction of expensive aircraft. In one extreme case, a $2.2 billion B-2 Spirit bomber crashed soon after takeoff and was destroyed. The events surrounding such accidents are gathered by USAF investigators and a report is published for each case. The author has collected these reports, including some made available following FOI (Freedom of Information) requests to U.S. air bases, and rewritten them in language accessible to the general public. The causes--bird-strikes, joy-riding, unauthorized maneuvers, pilot disorientation, an unseen binoculars-case blocking the plane's joystick, unexpected moisture in an air-pressure gauge--are often surprising and, at times, horrifying.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1994, two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters and their crews assigned to Operation Provide Comfort were transporting U.S., British, French, and Turkish military officers; Kurdish representatives; and a U.S. political advisor in northern Iraq. The pilots of two U.S. F-15 fighters misidentified the Black Hawks as Iraqi helicopters and shot them down, killing all 26 persons aboard. As a result of questions raised by family members of those killed and others, Congress held a hearing in August 1995 on the causes of the incident, the resulting investigation by an Air Force Aircraft Accident Investigation Board, and the judicial actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice that followed. This report discusses whether (1) the Board investigation of the shootdown met its objectives, (2) the subsequent Uniform Code of Military Justice investigations followed established guidelines, and (3) Defense Department or Air Force officials improperly or unlawfully influenced those investigations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headquarters Air Education and Training Command released its Accident Investigation Board report from the aircraft accident involving an F-16C at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, Jan. 31, 2017. Members of the board found that the cause of the mishap was pilot error. The investigation also identified that the instructor pilot's failed supervision and instruction were significant contributing factors for the mishap.The board determined that the incident, which left one civilian contractor deceased and one trainee injured, involved the use of training projectiles.The Accident Investigation Board President (AIB BP) found, by the preponderance of evidence, that the cause of the mishap was pilot error. The MP misperceived that the ground element's location was the intended target. The MP misinterpreted his instruments and failed to follow his on-board systems directing him to the proper target. The AIB BP found, by the preponderance of evidence, the MIP's failed supervision and instruction substantially contributed to the mishap. Specifically, that his failed cross-monitoring of the MP's performance during the MP's fatal strafing attack, his task misprioritization (focusing on coordinating and controlling other aircraft while the MP was performing the strafing attack), and his overconfidence, complacency and overaggresiveness during the mishap sortie substantially contributed to the mishap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five USAF accident investigation board reports, converted for accurate flowing-text ebook format reproduction, present findings into Class A aerospace mishaps involving UAV/UAS remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) in 2009 and 2010. The incidents included the MQ-1B Predator. Report One: On 20 November 2009, shortly after 1708 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), an MQ-1B Predator remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), serial number 06-3161, impacted the ground 7 miles northwest of Kandahar Airfield (KAF), Afghanistan, while conducting a combat support mission in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. The RPA was an asset of the 432d Air Expeditionary Wing, Creech Air Force Base, Nevada. It was destroyed on impact, and the cost of the aircraft damage was $4,588,282. There were no reported injuries and there was no known damage to other government or private property. Report Two: At 0353 Zulu (Z) / 0723 Local, Afghanistan on 3 October 2009 (2053 Pacific Daylight Saving Time on 2 October 2009), after normal maintenance and pre-flight checks, the Mishap Remotely Piloted Aircraft (MRPA) taxied and departed from Kandahar Air Field for a reconnaissance mission. There were two mishap crews involved in this mishap, as the mishap occurred shortly after crew swap. Mishap Crew 1 (MC1) consisted of Mishap Pilot 1 (MP1) and Mishap Sensor Operator 1 (MSO1). Mishap Crew 2 (MC2) consisted of Mishap Pilot 2 (MP2) and Mishap Sensor Operator 2. Report Three: On 20 April 2010, at 1057 local time (PDT), a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), MQ-1B tail number 08-3229 ("RPA 08-3229," "RPA," "aircraft," or "mishap aircraft"), impacted the ground at Southern California Logistics Airport (KVCV, the former George AFB) in Victorville, California. The aircraft and one inert Hellfire training missile were a total loss. Damage to government property was estimated at $3,743,211.00. The crash did not result in any injuries to people, but did result in minor damage to non-military property (a runway light). Report Four: An MQ-1B Predator Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) crashed shortly after takeoff near Joint Base Balad (JBB), Iraq on 16 August 2010. The aircraft belonged to the 432d Reconnaissance Wing at Creech Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada, but was deployed at the time in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. The crew flying the aircraft was also deployed to JBB from Creech AFB and was assigned to the 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron at the time of the mishap. No one was injured, and no private property was damaged. The aircraft and its system were catastrophically damaged during the crash. The total mishap cost was approximately $3,900,278. Report Five: On 19 September 2010, at 2018 Zulu (Z) time, the mishap remotely piloted aircraft (MRPA), a MQ-1B Predator, tail number 00-3072, crashed in uninhabited mountainous terrain approximately 20 miles south of Kabul, Afghanistan, approximately three hours after takeoff. Destruction of the MRPA, one hellfire missile, and two missile rails were assessed to be a financial loss of $3,800,278.00. No injuries, damage to other government, or damage to private property occurred as a result of the mishap.
