Aircraft Mishap Review Process - MOFE • Final SIB Report is Not so Final… • AFSC Calls for Command Indorsement/Comments for All Class A and B SIB Reports • Normally 30 Days to Provide Comments • Memorandum of Final Evaluation (MOFE) Produced by AFSC After Comments are Received • Historically, 6-12 months to Publish the MOFE
Aircraft Mishap Review Process - Summary • SIB Takes Priority Over the AIB • AOF Personnel may Serve as: • Primary SIB Member • Secondary SIB Member • AIB Technical Expert • Goal of the SIB is to Identify What Caused the Mishap and Take Preventive Action • MOFE - Real Final SIB Report on Class A/B Mishaps • Punitive Action May Result from AIB Process/Could Result from SIB if Witness Gives False Testimony
