Evaluating the Effect of Aircrew Flight Events on AMC Aircraft Safety Incidents
Abstract
. Aviation mishaps are costly events, both in price complicated events that involve a variety of contributing factors. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and United States Air Force (USAF) determine the propensity for aviation mishaps by comparing total flight hour to mishaps. The USAF uses a mishap per 100,000 flight hour ratio, while the FAA uses a mishap per million flight hours as well as mishaps per million departures. This research aims to determine not only if departures are a better metric for determining possible aviation mishaps, but also other flight events, such as air refueling or assault landings. A variety of statistical tests will be performed to compare mobility aircraft safety data to determine if flight events or departures are more explanatory with respect to mishaps than flight hours. The airframes will also be compared against each other in order to determine any patterns among mobility aircraft mishaps
