......We care more (collectively) about maintaining the illusion of immunity than we do about learning from our mishaps.
The lessons learned are there. We just refuse to disseminate them adequately......
The USAF even publishes results from their investigations for the public to see on this site, something that I was unaware of until someone here linked to it a few weeks ago.
Can't claim privilege for that from a subpoena. If a DA or a civil litigator wants to see it......he's gonna see it.THIS might be one reason why we won't (shouldn't?) see widest dissemination for SIRs....

My point is that the more people end up getting read into the specifics of mishaps, the greater the chance of...
Just, for the love of GOD, quit treating mishap data like it was TS/SCI information and hoarding it amongst the nerds while everybody else trades rumors on what they heard somebody said that they thought happened...

Great find, thanks for the link. I can't believe I've never heard of this either...and I can't believe we don't have something like this. Just by quickly perusing a few of the short summaries, I've already picked up a few nuggets I could use to keep me out of trouble in the future (or, at the very least, reinforce previous lessons I've learned). They also gave me an insight into how pilots handled different scenarios, from which I could see what worked and what didn't.
We need this.
If you haven't already, sign up for a WAMHRS/WESS account. I assume if you're getting HAZREPs then you have one, but if you don't, get one. If you already have one, then you should also be getting all of your community's mishap reports. If you aren't, ask your ASO to look at your permissions so you get all reports.+100. My own knowledge of mishaps within my own community (T/M/S that is) is normally limited to the rumor mill. I've probably read a book worth of Hazreps though![]()
