The naval aviation mishap rate has declined from almost eighteen aircraft destroyed per 100,000 flight hours thirty three years ago to today's rate of three and a half, as the result of better aircraft design, maintenance, and training. However, pilot error, usually accounting for slightly less than half of the aircraft mishap causation, has shown a recent increase. The reasons most often cited for these pilot errors are violations of air discipline, poor crew coordination, lack of judgement, and a loss of situational awareness. The Navy has recently initiated a trial program to teach skills in these areas to pilots.
