FLIGHTFAX: Army Aviation Risk-Management Information. Volume 29, Number 5

Abstract

In accident after accident the investigators of the Army Safety Center see the same mistakes over and over again: aircrews and other soldiers either not knowing or not adhering to established standards. There are shortcomings and recommendations in 90 percent of the accident investigations that cite regulations, Aircrew Training Manuals, Technical Manuals, and SOPs not being adhered to. This issue of FLIGHTFAX is intended to address these issues but in a somewhat different way. In a cooperative effort with the U.S. Army Aviation Center Directorate Evaluation and Standardization (DES); this Utility Helicopter Update is intended not only to review accidents from the Safety Center database and to continue the discussion of the five-step risk management process, but also to take advantage of the trends seen by DES as they travel the world evaluating unit training programs.
