Recently, several military aircraft accidents had killed excellent pilots on board. After accidents, the public is eager to know what are the root causes leading to such fatalities? Was it aircraft mechanic problem, inclement weather, managerial deficiency, pilot’s physically incapability, lack of training, fatigue, out-dated pilot training curriculum etc.? The list goes on.
　　For Republic of China Air Force, (ROCAF), independent safety evaluation and audit systems, such as pilot reporting system, operation resource management, flight and base service reporting system, flight and base service information system, have established for the purpose to maintain the safety performances for years. Those safety reporting systems are similar to the key elements the safety management system (SMS) has setup and request. However, it is the safety culture behind those systems that operates and maintains the operational environment for expected safety objectives. Current paper aims to investigate the perception on safety cultures- classified as informed, reporting, just and learning/adapting cultures- embedded within ROCAF; and to provide safety recommendation for the purpose to reserve and promote ROCAF combat capacities. A big culture gap is recognized that the pilots, particularly the senior levels with more flight hours and higher flight levels, conceive that neither the reporting system nor the response from the management level toward hazard reports is confidentially processed.
