New Laws Brought In To Make Military Aircraft Safer
In an important collaborative move by the US and UK governments, both have agreed to sign new policies on how military aircraft are to maintain high standards of safety. The move follows growing concerns from some of the top military and aviation officials that the current safety standards are not up to scratch and personnel are being seriously injured or losing their lives as a result. Military officials from both governments have agreed on a new set of build and maintenance safety policies, following a comprehensive review of current legislation. These are some of the new policies:
Double review. When an aircraft is supplied by a manufacturer to either the UK or US military, it will first be fully reviewed by at least one other independent aviation body. Any issues that this group identifies, even as small as faulty solenoids or door hinges, must be addressed by the armed force who owns the vehicle. There will additionally be a system put in place where knowledge regarding individual risks or faults can be shared between nations, so that each can take action to better their craft
Safety reviews. A great many military vehicles suffer from the fact even though they have top spec safety features when they are built, by the time they are five years old or so, these feature are not up-to-date.This will soon change as all aircraft are due to have a complete safety overhaul every five years, to replace and upgrade any components or features that have been developed since the last review
Yearly Maintenance. Regular maintenance of vehicles is usually a high priority for both the US and UK military, however there is often a large disparity between maintenance policies of different unit locations and armed services. Under the new system, every vehicle will be submitted to another independent body each year for a full service to replace and multicore cables, damaged circuit boards or mil spec cable for example.This move will see a better tracking of aircraft maintenance history and is thought will help identify recurring issues with weak or faulty parts.
