Towards a Fail-Safe Air Force Culture

<p>The paper argues the current re-invigoration of a and quot;Zero Defects and quot; culture within the Air Force's Nuclear Enterprise following the B-52 and Taiwan incidents will not produce the desired results. Similarly a tolerant approach to the problem is equally destined to failure. Long term excellence in the enterprise is achievable through embracing a and quot;Fail Safe and quot; culture espoused by modern research into High Reliability Organizations (HROs) and practiced within Air Force subcultures such as the Flight Safety System and Flight Test Safety Process.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
