OV-1 Accident Summary

Abstract

This summary contains analyses and statistical reviews of all major and minor accidents, incidents, forced landings, and precautionary landings that occurred during the period 1 July 1963 - through 30 June 1966. Aircraft losses or damages which were the direct result of hostile action in Vietnam are not included. This summary is intended to help commanders develop programs and procedures to prevent accidents by acquainting aviation personnel with past accident experience, and to influence activities engaged in aviation research and development to eliminate similar problems in future aircraft design through a comprehensive system safety engineering program. This is the second accident summary published for the OV-1. The first, published January 1964, covered the period 1 November 1961 through 31 October 1963. d. The word "mishap," as used in this summary, includes accidents, incidents, forced landings, and precautionary landings.
