With safety remaining his top concern, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has ordered the US Air Force to take additional steps to mitigate risks to F-22 pilots, George Little, acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, has said.
Beginning in 2008, a few pilots experienced hypoxia-like symptoms when flying the aircraft, Little told reporters at a Pentagon news conference. Hypoxia is a deficiency of oxygen. There have been a total of 12 cases of these hypoxia-like symptoms affecting pilots.
Little said the Secretary has followed developments in the F-22 closely and has directed the Air Force to expedite the installation of an automatic backup oxygen system in all of the planes.
In addition, effective immediately, all F-22 flights will remain near potential landing locations to enable quick recovery and landing should a pilot encounter unanticipated physiological conditions during flight, Little said.
Finally, Panetta directed the US Air Force to provide him with a monthly progress report as the service continues the search for the root cause of the problem.
