我的第一次飛機失事調查

0913空軍兩架RF-5,F-5E墬毀於宜蘭東澳附近山區. 事隔一星期後我接到總部飛安組電話,即表明意願幫助此事件失事調查. 帶著放在書架上沾滿灰塵的飛機失事調查這本書前往花蓮基地. 雖然很久未曾閱讀這本書,其實過去幾年來也根本沒有機會用它,但扎實的訓練還是相當有用,因為短短的三天我就將失事原因找到了. 以我保護飛行員的心態來說當然建議爾後戰績都安裝防撞裝置,GPS衛星導航,或減少編隊飛行.但對作戰訓練有影響而不能被認同,對這些冒著生命安全保護中華民國台灣的飛行員,心中對他們相當敬佩也很不捨. 能建議的只有希望他們以後目視飛行千萬不要進雲,除非有航管帶領. 另外若這次失事前航站管能提醒飛行員一下位置,就可以避免意外發生. 也許這次戰管失職人員可以逃掉法律制裁,但良心的譴責卻是一輩子.

民航局黃科長覺得我表現不錯有意挖角,也許下一步是去民航局也說不定.

My first aircraft accident investigation - Collision into mountainous terrain RF-5F and F-5E.

On September 13, two military fighter aircraft crashed and 3 pilots were killed. A week later, I had a phone call from Taipei headquarters and I agreed to join the investigation immediately. I took the book Aircraft Accident Investigation with me to go to Hualien airbase. Actually, I did not read this book for a long time, because I haven't have any chance to use it. I remember everything in that book. I found probable causes in three days and found more evidences. I was glad I have an opportunity to use what I had learned.
