This pamphlet was developed to assist the commander in formulating a unit aviation accident prevention plan. AR 385-95 requires that each commander, from major command through company or detachment level, have a separate document, directive in nature, that describes how the aviation accident prevention function will be implemented. This pamphlet is in two sections. Section 1 describes integral areas that should be incorporated in the aviation accident prevention plan and describes the role of key personnel involved in unit level accident prevention. Section II is a sample company level aviation accident prevention plan. The sample plan may be altered to insure that it is compatible with the organization's level, mission, and functions.

This Twelfth Edition of the Guide to Aviation Resources Management for Aircraft Mishap Prevention provides guidelines for implementing and maintaining an effective aviation mishap prevention program. It is intended to be used as an aid in evaluating the systems used by commanders and aviation safety officers in accomplishing unit missions. Experience has proven that exceptional levels of readiness can be achieved only through effective management and conservation of all available resources.

Two critical mishap program documents, one for the USAF and one for the Air National Guard, are reproduced here. This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 91-2, Safety Programs. It establishes mishap prevention program requirements, assigns responsibilities for program elements and contains program management information. Purpose - Minimize loss of Air Force resources and protect Air Force people from death, injuries or illnesses by managing risks on- and off-duty. This program applies to all operations except where otherwise prescribed or specified in Status-of-Forces Agreements. Mishap Prevention Program - Commanders at all levels are responsible for developing and implementing a mishap prevention program. Safety staffs at all levels assist commanders with the implementation and integration of risk management into all on-duty operations and missions, and off-duty activities.
