Army Aviation Accidents

Paper Summary:

The paper explains that the purpose of the research is to ascertain the effects of aviation resource management survey (ARMS) inspections on aviation accident rates in the U.S. army. The paper presents the hypothesis that ARMS inspections decrease Army aviation accidents and proposes to look into the United States Army Europe and Seventh Army (USAREUR) aviation accident statistics over a four-year period. The paper provides an extensive literature review and outlines the exact research methodology to be utilized.

From the Paper:

"United States Army aviation resources are an expensive, finite product in the budget of the United States government. The numbers of helicopters required in war fighting deployments have a direct impact in peacekeeping missions and waging war in global conflicts. The loss of United States Army helicopters directly impact the mission, capability, and accomplishment of Army aviation in deployments and support missions to ground forces. The expenditure of these valuable assets, to include loss of life, directly impact the strategy of the United States Army. If present aviation accident trends continue, coupled with combat losses, the expectation of over one billion dollars in United States Army aviation accidents, Class A through C, will become a reality. This downward spiral in aviation accidents must be stopped."
