Marine Aviation Fatalities Hits a Five Year High

Having the proper aviation schooling is very important and can even save someone’s life. Sheffield School of Aeronautics knows that a thorough and complete aviation education is necessary, which is why they are one of the oldest aviation training institutions in the United States and the entire world. Sheffield has aircraft dispatchers at most of all of the major domestic and foreign aircraft carriers and airliners across the world. Sheffield also has a devotion to all service men that are involved in any form of aviation.

Just nine months into the 2015 year, marine aviation-related deaths reached 18, which is a five year high for marine aviation related deaths. Five aircraft mishaps have left at least 18 Marines dead in 2015, which is up 15 compared to the 2014 total. The last time we saw a spike in Marine aviation related deaths was with the 15 Marines who were killed in 2012 due to aircraft mishaps. Sheffield School of Aeronautics aims to eliminate the issue of aviation-related deaths, by providing the best aircraft dispatching course in the world.

Marine officials claim that they are committed to aircraft safety, but state that by its very nature, there will always be an inherent risk in military aviation. They also continued to explain that the Marine Corps utilizes highly reliable aircraft, extensively trains pilots and all aircrew, conducts exhaustive maintenance, and places safeguards and precautions to ensure a high degree of aviation safety. However, Sheffield knows that proper aviation education is the foundation for the aforementioned.

The Marine Corps suffered their biggest loss of life in 2015 when a Blackhawk helicopter crashed off the coast of Florida during an aviation training exercise, taking 11 Marine lives. The majority of aviation accidents involving Marines over the past 16 months have been linked to training exercises.

Sheffield School of Aeronautics fully understands the importance of proper training. They are the most experienced FAA-approved Aircraft Dispatcher school in the world. They provide the proper certification training for Military pilots, as well as many other aviation specialty seekers. Visit their website today to learn about their accelerated courses!
