Naval Aircraft Accidents During

Launch And Recovery Operations





Over the past 5-1/2 years, the Navy has had
730 aircraft accidents resulting in substantial
aircraft damage, aircraft losses, and some crew
fatalities. Not all these accidents occurred
during carrier operations, and only 29 were
associated with launch or  recovery phases
of carrier air operations. Those associated
with carrier air operations have been attri-
buted to one or more of the following:
     --Defects in equipment including cata-
     pult and arresting-gear equipment.

     --Human error by aircraft crewmembers
     or equipment operators aboard the
     carriers.

This report provides Navy aircraft accident
statistics and information on some of the ac-
tions the Navy has taken to improve safety in
carrier air operations.

Some of the problems, and the Navy's initia-
tives aimed at correcting them, are discussed
in the report.
