Survey of Forced and Precautionary Landing Costs.
Abstract
A questionnaire survey was conducted to learn the costs of forced landings (F/Ls) and precautionary landings (P/Ls). The questionnaire elicited cost data in respect to (1) the effect each mishap had on the mission assigned the mishap aircraft, (2) man-hours lost by the crew and passengers, (3) man-hours required to recover the crew, passengers, and aircraft, (4) time the mishap aircraft was unavailable for flight, (5) man-hours required to make the aircraft flyable, and (6) the components that malfunctioned to cause these mishaps. The broad and obscure costs revealed by the survey are sufficient to justify the initiation of a concerted effort to prevent the causes of these mishaps. Prevention of the causes of these mishaps will allow aviation units to operate more efficiently, i.e., allow them to maintain a higher state of combat readiness. (Author)
