Development of Rating Instruments and Procedures for Aviation Mishap Investigation
Abstract
This report summarizes the development of improved techniques, procedures, measures, and reporting methods for identifying and reporting aircrew coordination errors in U.S. Army aviation mishaps. Based on an analysis of historical aviation accident data, researchers identified a number of recurring crew coordination errors that have contributed to rotary wing accidents. The errors were categorized and used, along with a theoretical framework and associated set of rating instruments, to produce a supplemental set of investigation and reporting procedures for U.S. Army aviation mishap investigations. The supplemental investigation-and reporting procedures were demonstrated and validated in the field in three Class A aviation mishap investigations conducted during the slimmer of 1990. Participating research psychologists accompanied the U.S. Army Safety Center accident investigation board to assess and refine the procedures in actual use.
