Aviation Safety in Combat: An Appraisal of the Experiences of Army Aviation Unit Commanders in RVN

Abstract

The recent dramatic growth of Army aviation and unique combat environment of RVN have given rise to critical aviation safety issues. However, no consensus of opinion emerged and time now is ripe to uncover the aviation safety lessons learned from RVN. Therefore, the research described here had as its purpose to solicit, analyze and report the collective opinion of unit commanders and aviation safety officers (ASO's) on the evolution of aviation safety philosophy from peacetime operations through six years of combat operations.
