Flightfax: Army Aviation Risk-Management Information, Volume 28, Number 5, May 2000. Good News

Abstract

There's good news from the Safety Center operations research systems analysts. A mid-year review of the Army Safety Program showed that Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 ground and aviation accident rates are lower than FY99 and the previous 3 years. Relative to this time last year we are seeing reductions in the number of accidents in nearly every category: Total aviation ground accidents, military fatalities, off-duty accidents, and privately owned vehicle (POV) accidents. These numbers are direct results of leaders integrating risk management into training and battlefield operations, as well as off-duty safety. As of 31 March 2000, total aviation and ground Class A accidents are 10.1 percent lower than FY99, and equal to the three-year average. Total military fatalities are also reduced 7.5 percent from last year) but still are 1.4 percent higher than the 3-year average.
