Motor Vehicle 1 0 1 Pedestrian/Bicycle 0 0 0 Property Damage 0 0 0 Industrial 0 0 0 Total 8 1 9 Class A AMC had one Class A mishap in FY14. This is a decrease from four in FY13. Most likely this mishap will move to an AF at large mishap because it is engine confined and will no longer be reflected on AMC stats. C-17A Engine Confined While enroute to an air refueling track, the crew noted the aircraft shuddering, accompanied by number one engine rollback and visible sparks while climbing between FL190 and FL200. They ran the appropriate checklists and landed safely at Wright-Patterson AFB. Initial damage was noted to several blades, and the safety investigation is ongoing. Class B The total number of Class B mishaps increased by one as compared to four in FY13. However four of the five mishaps were engine confined FOD. C-17A Engine Confined During ground engine running operations, the number 2 and 3 engines experienced sub-idle spool downs resulting in excessive EGTs. Investigation is ongoing. KC-135R Engine Confined The aircraft experienced an engine compressor stall on the number four engine. Maintenance discovered damage to the engine, which is currently awaiting breakdown, and the safety investigation is ongoing. KC-10A Engine Confined FOD The number three engine was operating approximately 40 degrees hotter than the other engines but still within tolerances. Post-flight inspection revealed screws in the engine. Engine analysis is still being conducted and the safety investigation is ongoing. C-40B Engine Confined FOD The aircraft ingested asphalt and other debris into the number two engine while taxiing across surfaces where numerous construction vehicles loaded with concrete and various other debris were crossing without FOD checks. Large pieces of debris had fallen on the taxiway and the apron had large cracks with crumbling asphalt. C-130H Engine Confined FOD The aircraft experienced a number three engine RPM roll back to 94 percent. The crew recovered the aircraft and landed uneventfully. Upon post flight inspection, FOD was discovered in the engine. The SIB determined maintenance personnel failed to account for hardwear while replacing the valve housing, which led to FOD in the compressor. KC-10 Engine Confinded FOD During Post Flight Inspection, maintenance personnel discovered a missing engine ASP fastener. Further investigation noted damage to blades throughout the High Pressure Compressor. KC-10 Engine Confined During flight, the crew heard a loud pop and felt the aircraft shudder. After landing, maintenance personnel discovered severe engine damage. Investigation is ongoing. FY14 GROUND SAFETY NOTES There were eight fatal mishaps and one permanent partial disability.
