Mishap statistics scoreboard

Aircraft Notes

One of our ACC-gained units lost an F-16C during training in January. Fortunately, the pilot ejected safely. When flying hours or airframes are not available, it is even more important to get the most out of simulator training. Make the effort to match simulator scenarios to the actual situations that may arise. Ask the following questions: Are the emergency and training scenarios realistic? Is your training going to a logical conclusion? Are you taking shortcuts or developing bad habits because of the way the simulator operates? If so, how can it be fixed? Can you recognize the effects of fatigue or poor CRM in the simulator? The sim is a big part of training like we fight. When the hazards of fatigue, poor weather, communications, or mission complexity add up, the difference between success and failure may depend on what you saw in the sim.

Ground Notes

ACC sustained two losses in January. One was needless because good PRM and Wingman practices were not utilized. The other loss was sustained when an Airman's heart gave out during his annual PT test. The command is sustaining a 40 percent reduction of Class A mishaps over the same period from FY07.

Weapons Notes

Moving into the second quarter, ACC is still maintaining its good start into FY08. However, we have recently had two munitions activations. These are caused by technicians not following their tech data. If we continue ignoring our tech data we will have a major incident. If tech data doesn't cover the operation you are performing or you feel the tech data needs improvement, take the time to process the AFTO Form 22. "It's always been done this way and our tech data just hasn't caught up yet" isn't an excuse. Take the time now to make the change. Thanks for the emphasis you put towards weapons safety every day.
