Now, a JAG investigation is conducted to determine the cause of a mishap. We also use it to identify lapses or shortcomings in processes and procedures; to direct corrective actions; and to adjudicate claims against the government. Finally, it can serve as the basis of administrative or legal actions. .. The JAG investigation should not be confused with the Aircraft Mishap Board investigation that was conducted on the same accident. The Aircraft Mishap Board investigation, which focuses specifically on aviation safety and accident prevention, is in the review process. ---- There's also: ---- As I mentioned earlier, the investigation revealed an anomaly in the computer software that governs control of the prop rotors. This anomaly rendered the emergency procedures outlined in the Naval Air Training and Operations Procedures Standardization, or NATOPS, flight manual ineffective. As a result, this investigation recommends, and Headquarters United States Marine Corps concurs, that Naval Air Systems Command, NAVAIR, conduct a complete and comprehensive review of the entire vehicle management system, the computer software, to identify design deficiencies that may exist in any logic path that could adversely affect aircraft controlability. ---- In other words, there was clearly (to their minds) some kind of problem when that acknowledge button is pressed (as per procedure) during this one particular circumstance. They did not see it as their job to track this problem down any further (JAG is just for seeing if their procedures are bad, or their personnel were negligent in some way), so they are asking for a separate review to get to the bottom of it. At least, that's the way I read it. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
