    Overreliance on the Experience Gap

    Upon initial radio contact, the C-130 crew relayed that they conducted a reconnaissance of the HAAR track and determined it was not viable due to the above-mentioned weather. A game-time decision was made to climb above the clouds and rendezvous...

    Looking Back

    Although Sprain is not his real name, his story is true. He is a smart rider. He has plans further out than tomorrow, so he does not take risks just for the thrill of it. On this day, however, a series of choices and events will conspire against...

    When Cutting Corners Becomes the Norm

    The true danger of normalizing deviance lies in its subtlety. Initially, deviations might seem minor and inconsequential. Examples include skipping a procedural step due to a time crunch, deferring a minor maintenance procedure because...

    As we usher in the New Year, this is the perfect time to reflect on the past and plan for a safer, healthier future in our workplaces. The U.S. Army is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all its personnel, and there's no better moment than now to reinforce our safety programs and strategies.

    Managing the Mundane

    Mundane tasks are hurting Soldiers. The Army expects us to do the same or more with less time and resources, which negatively affects unit morale, retention and even safety. Laundry lists of tasks continue to pile on and, unfortunately, leaders may forget or choose to skip important steps, such as risk management, in the planning process. This came back to bite my unit when the routine task of reorganizing a storage container turned into a partial finger amputation – a Class B mishap.

    You Can't Accomplish the Mission if You're Dead

    Growing up in an aviation family, most of my dad’s stories tended to start with, “No kidding — there I was, inverted in my Huey. I could tell I was inverted because my Air Medals were dangling in my face.” Back then, I used to just laugh at his tales because I had no real experience in aviation.

The concept of going inverted and not realizing it made a lot more sense at that point.

Back then, I knew that not clearing the windows was a stupid move, but I still felt I was incredibly unlucky that someone left a forklift in the road. Then I read a newspaper article that changed my belief that I was simply a victim of bad luck.

    Prepare for the Worst

    I arrived several hours early to ensure all the paperwork, planning and details were taken care of. Even though the forecast was VFR throughout our time of flight, I decided to plan an IFR flight as well, just in case. The radar was making me second guess the forecast, and I didn’t want to be unprepared should weather come in sooner than expected.
