Mishap statistics scoreboard

In July, ACC had one Class A. An F-16's brakes failed on landing roll in the AOR at night. The aviator walked away. Let's put the rally caps on for the home stretch! This month completes the 101 Critical Days of Summer and 1 month remains in this Fiscal Year. Fight the temptation to let your guard down with "get-home-itis." Stay focused ... stay vigilant ... and follow the rules. Listen to the hairs on the back of your neck. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Fly Safe!

Ground Notes

Since the start of the 101 Critical Days of Summer campaign, ACC has lost five valuable members to fatal mishaps. All of our fatalities involved the operation of private motor vehicles (three PMV4 and two PMV2 mishaps). Excessive speed was a major contributing factor in 60 percent of these highly preventable mishaps. Although tragic, these five fatalities represent a 37 percent reduction over the same time period for FY03.

Weapons Notes

The ACC weapons safety community enjoyed another month without a Class A or B mishap. Your diligence, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile is certainly paying off. However, we don't want to rest on our laurels, we still have plenty of room for improvement in the Class C and D arena. Statistics show compliance with technical data continues to be a problem. Technical data is our strongest ally if we just make sure we use no matter how familiar you are with the task at hand. Remember, not following technical data is not indicative of how well you know a task; it's an indicator of how little you really understand about preservation of precious AF assets. Stay focused!
