Mishap statistics scoreboard

ACC had zero rate-producing Class As for August ... well done. There were, however, two non-rate producers. A Predator crashed in the AOR and an F-16 ECM pod malfunctioned post flight. We've made progress this fiscal year; let's not let it slip away in the home stretch. Staying focused by prioritizing tasks correctly will keep us on track. Worrying about a missed check-in at brake release can snowball into a bad abort/TOLD decision. When approaching a busy air route, directing an in-flight check instead of clearing can put something undesirable in the windscreen. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Fly Safe!

Ground Notes

As we approach the end of the 101 Critical Days of Summer, ACC is showing an improvement over last year's mishaps. The current theme is a 25 percent reduction in ground fatalities, 9 this year versus 12 last year, and motorcycle mishaps have dropped 20 percent from last year. Currently for FY04 we are showing a 22.5 percent reduction in Class A mishaps.

Weapons Notes

Weapons mishaps are on the decline. Folks are listening to our pleas to follow tech data and written guidance. This quarter has been quiet as a result of our efforts. We feel it is imperative that we do not take shortcuts when working with explosives, as complacency can creep in at a moment's notice. It is easy to become complacent when most of us can't remember the last time there was an unplanned detonation. Please continue to adhere to tech data and implement ORM and PRM into your daily explosive activities.
