The United States Air Force has released the results of a branch-wide operational safety review, which identified a series of safety risks for Air Force flight crews. The report pinpointed stress posed by high operations tempos, a lack of time to properly focus on flying basics and decreased aircraft availability as potential safety concerns in current Air Force operations. It also found the pressure to accept risk and a cultural tendency to always execute the assigned mission created possible safety issues. In addition, the report warned against complacency while performing routine tasks.
