STUDIES OF AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS INVOLVING OFFICER TRAINEES IN THE BASIC TRAINING COMMAND FOR FISCAL 1951. PART 1. A STUDY OF THE STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS BY OFFICER TRAINEES IN RELATION TO THEIR PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION IN THE TRAINING POPULATION

Abstract

A study was made of the accident rates by officer trainees and NavCads for the fiscal year of 1951. When compared with their expected accident rate, the difference between this expectancy and the actual number of accidents occurring each month, the difference was not statistically significant. On a yearly basis, however, it was found that the student officers did have a proportionately higher accident rate in comparison with Naval cadets.
