ARMY ORDER TO AID
AVIATION SCHOOLS
Air Course Cadets Must Re-
main in Service Two Years
After Graduation.

The decision of the War Department
to require graduates of the Army Air
Corps Advanced Flying School to re-
main In the service for two years as
officers Of the Air Corps Reserve on
active duty or as officers in the Reg
lar Army is expected to prove boon to
the better grade civilian flying schools.
In the past large number Of Air
Corps cadets upon completing their
training at Kelly Field have left the
service Immediately to accept posts as
commercial pilots. The new rule will
shut off the flow of graduates from the
school to commercial positions for a
period OF at least two years and will
make necessary the filling OF pilot va
cancies from the civilian schools
The new War Department regulations
require that candidates for admission
to the Advanced Flying School shall
sign articles of service for three years,
one as flying cadet and two as sec
ond lieutenant, Air Corps Reserve, on
active duty, or as a commissioned OIL
GER in the Regular Army.
while graduates of the Army Training
School are in great demand In CONNER
cial aviation, they are equally valuable
as Army pilots upon the completion Of
their Army training. The rule was
promulgated because of the difficulty of
keeping abreast Of the five-year pro-
gram for the expansion of the Air Corps,
which places a quota OF 1850 ofiicers

Sixty-three per cent of all fatal
airplane accidents in the Army

according to survey by the office

The result of a study and analy-

j. s. NAVY ACCEPTS
BIG FLYING BOAT
Nine Months of Experimental
Work Tested Giant Craft
for Service.

Nearly nine months of experimental
work by the flight test section Of the
Anacostia Naval Air Station on the
new consolidated patrol boat, the
largest flying boat yet built in this
country, have resulted in the formal
acceptance Of the big craft by the Navy
Department.
Test work on the xPY-1, which, since
its acceptance, will be known as the
PY-1, has formed one of the most inn
portant assignments of the flight test
section during the past Summer The
plane has been operated with two and
three motors and, as accepted for duty,
is powered with two radial air-cooled
motors mounted on either side Of the
hull under the big inonoplane wing.
Changes Made in Tail.
Several structural changes, chiefly in
the mounting of the tail assembly, have
been made as result of the work Of
the flight test pilots. The plane, as a
result of it's work during the tests, is
expected to be worthy addition to the
famous line of Navy patrol boats. The
latest addition to this line. the PHIL,
now under test at Anacostia, also is a
twin-engined flying boat.
In addition to its work with the Ply
and the Pm boats, the fight test Sec
ton has completed the full flight test
ing of the new T5M all-metal Martin
diving bomber and torpedo plane. The
last tests were made with wheel tail
skid, which operated satisfactorily.
All test work has been completed on
the F4B-1 Boeng fighter and a final
report Is being prepared.
Trials have been made of three deep
V-bottom floats for the O2U obs -rva-
ton plane. These floats are being
tested for water characteristics by pilots

Tests on the F8C-2 CurtiSs fighter
have been completed and a final report

ton, Ohio, may result in adoption by
the Army Air Corps of a new type OF
triangular parachute to replace the pres
ent standard circular type, according to
report in the Air Corps News Letter.
The new triangular chute, devised by
Maj. E. L. Hoffman, Air Corps, is
rounded at two corners, while the third
is sheared straight across and, having
no Shruud lines across the sheared por-
ton, acts as a taillike vent through
which the air escapes from the para
chute.
This system decreases oscillation and
shock upon the jumper when the para
chute opens and also makes the para
chute more maneuverable, 1t is claimed.
Many live jumps and dummy drops
have been made with the parachute,
including a number of live jumps dur
ing the recent national air races at
Cleveland.
Another feature adding to the safety
of operation is new type of springless,
non-foulable pilot parachute fastened
directly to the main parachute. Better
arrangement Of the pack Is said to pre-.
vent punching of the folds, of the main
parachute and tangling Of the shroud
lines.

The United States is to be charted for
aerial navigation, much the same as
oceans are charted for ships.
The Department of Commerce and
Coast and Geodetic Survey has laid
plans for preparation of the charts to
guide aviators to any part of the coun-
try. For the purposes Of the work, the
country will be divided into 80 sections
each covering degrees Of longitude and
degrees of latitude.
The first of these air maps takes in
parts of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio

In addition, the Coast and Geodetic
Survey will rush the completion Of strip
maps for the commercial airways, so or

The navigation charts, showing main
railroads and highways. principal cities,
attitudes and outstanding landmarks,
will be compiled from various maps
available and from data obtained on
flight work
The work will involve much flying to
select landmarks from the air which do
not show on maps available now.

III IIle ITeIlu IOWdEu SCdUlt-
iZation of the air transport
~ industry is the construc-
ton of larger and larger airplaneS.
The past year has witnessed a
succession of huge airplanes and
there Is no indication that the
limit of size has been approached.
The giant transport plane is the
answer to the cry of the transport
operator for more efficient equip
ment. The per-paSSenger cost
must be reduced if the airplane is
to compete successfully with other
transportation systems, the opera
tors say. The large airplane per-
mits large increase of pay-load
over the -profit-making load
represented by the structural
weight of the plane, motors and
fuel.
The marked movement toward
the huge transport plane, ap-
parent in all parts of the world,
must come as something of
shock to the skeptics of few
years ago who declared that the
large plane was impracticable, if
not impossible.

To stimulate development of the fly

tics has undertaken the building of a
seaplane test channel at its laboratories
at Langley Field, Va.
In the 2,500-foot channel, expected
to be completed next year, models Of
flying boat hulls will be studied in the
development of hull types which will
have minimum drag in the water and
which will require a minimum Of horse
power to get into the air with heavy

of the Regular Army Air Corps and $50
Reserve officers on active duty.
Funds for carrying on the training of
new flying personnel are limited, 1t was
explained, and 1t Is felt that the Army,
having trained pilot, should have
prior claim on his services for at least
two years following the completion of
his flying training Moreover, it is the
opinion of Army Air Corps officers that
the commercial schools should be en-
couraged to develop, since they will
form a great reservoir from which
trained pilots may be drawn in event
OF future national emergency.

from faulty plotting are decreas-
ing, while the number of collisions
seems to remain fairly constant.
The number of fatal crashes due
to errors on the part of pilots has
increased steadily in proportion as
other causes decreased. In 1926
only 1928 per cent of accidents
were due to pilots errors. In 1927
the proportion increased to 44.1a
per cent and last year to So pei
cent.
Of the SO per cent of crashes
caused by the human element,
"a per cent were due to error OF
judgment, 80 per cent to poor
technique. per cent to disobedi-
ence of orders and 6 per cent to
carelesSneSs or negligence.
For the past year approximate
ly half the fatal crashes due to
pilots errors may be traced to
overconfdence, Air Corps officers
stated.
OvercOnfidence Blamed.
"Inasmuch as IS per cent OF
pilot fatalities occurred among
officers with less than two years
experience" it was reported, "it
would indicate that our young
pilots are overconfldent and over
Jealous.
During this year 46 per cent OF
the pilot fatalities occurred with
pilots of less than 200 hours of fly
ing, II per cent had from 200 to
500 hours to their credit, Is per
cent from 500 to 1000 hours and
IL per cent from 1000 to 1900
hours.
THE successful pilot of today is
the one who eliminates unneceS-
sary hazards, when the taking OF
such hazards is not mandatory in
the proper performance of the
military mission. He learns from
the costly experience of his pre-
decessors. With modern equip
ment, the well-trained and alert
pilot of today, who always uses
good common horse sense can
expect to live a long time. Ask
the old-time pilot with over 1000
hours to his credit"
In connection with it's study of
airplane fatalities. the Army Air
Corps also has undertaken study
of forced landings, including those
which do not result in damage tc
equipment or injury to personnel
The inspection division of the Air
Corps has ordered that pilots sub
