Co-Pilot Intentionally Crashes Aircraft - Should the Military be Concerned? #ICASM2015

I
ICASM2015

The document discusses whether the military should be concerned about intentional crashes by pilots and reviews policies. It summarizes that many aviation authorities now require two crew members be present in the cockpit to help prevent intentional crashes. Within the military, factors like an open cockpit, squadron culture, oversight from medical personnel, screening of pilots, and stress management training help mitigate the risks, but stigma around mental health remains a challenge.

Military Policy GASO ??? Air Tanker Introduced rule of 2 Hercules C130J SOP, Para 32, Page 12: Whenever the PNF visits the cargo compartment, the ALM should be present on the flight deck and on intercom. The selection of a PFD will help the ALM monitor the PF. Atlas A400 OM, Section 1.3, Page 11: Whenever the PM visits the cargo compartment, the LM should be present on the flight deck & on intercom. Displaying a PFD on the 3rd CM DU will help the LM monitor the PF. Globemaster C17 ???

Conclusion: These factors do make the risk for the Military less than for commercial airlines. Fear of grounding from aircrew remains the greatest risk to flight safety, with some not asking for help until its too late. The MOD has done as much as it can to mitigate such risks, but it remains a salutary lesson that stigma towards mental health remains our key issue.
