Budget constraints which yield reductions in flight hours per pilot imply an eventual shifting of the distribution of flight hours. Analyses show that the rate of pilot error mishaps tends to decrease as pilots' flight experience increase. These data suggest, therefore, that as the experience levels of naval aviators decline, the mishap rate will increase. The experience levels of Training Command/Fleet Readiness Squadron instructor pilots would also tend to decrease, thereby contributing both directly and indirectly to an increased mishap rate. The total effect will, of course, also depend upon aggregate flight hour reductions as well as pilot retention rates.
