In an attempt to develop indicators which would permit identification of those Army aviators most likely to suffer pilot-error accidents, USABAAR's data base was interrogated for aviators who had two or more pilot-error accidents during a 30-month period. One hundred and twenty-three such aviators and 249 accidents were identified. These accidents were analyzed for causative factors and the aviators for distinguishing characteristics which might assist in identifying those with a high potential for pilot-error accidents. No characteristics permitting this identification could be documented. Moreover, several empirical points for commanders and supervisors to use in the prevention of pilot error accidents were developed.
