AV-8B Aircraft Class A Mishaps and Engine Problems

Abstract

We audited selected facets of the AV-8B Aircraft Program as requested by Congress in Conference Report 102-311, "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993," November 13, 1991. Congress requested that we conduct a comprehensive investigation into the high incidence of AV-8B mishaps classified as class A and the chronic AV-8B engine problems. Congress also requested that the General Accounting Office and the Inspector General review the management and the funding of the AV-8B Program. House and Senate Committee staff members agreed to have the General Accounting Office review the management and funding of the AV-8B program and keep the Inspector General abreast of their audit results.
