Army Aircraft Safety Performance Review

Abstract

This report was prepared to provide aviation commanders, safety officers, aircrews, and maintenance personnel an overview of utility, attack, cargo, observation, and fixed wing aircraft safety performance for fiscal years 89 through 93. With the help of the Army Aviation Center Directorate of Evaluation and Standardization and the Aviation Training Brigade at Fort Rucker, AL, we have provided some aviation prevention techniques and procedures and control measures that may help you enhance realistic training while reducing human error, thus increasing force protection. This report is in nine sections. Section 1 describes overall Army aviation experience. Sections 2 through 9 provide overviews of the accident experience of each aircraft system, along with synopses of selected accidents and accident prevention measures. Note that these synopses do not necessarily reflect all factors contributing to the accident; they concentrate on the primary cause or risk management failure.
