Navy issues one-day pause on some flights in wake of California aircraft crashes

The U.S. Navy is issuing a one-day pause on its aircraft in the wake of two crashes this week in California, one of which claimed the lives of five Marines. The pause will take place on Monday and apply to all "non-deployed Navy aviation units."

In a news release Saturday, the Commander, Naval Air Forces said the day will be used to "review risk-management practices and conduct training on threat and error-management processes."

Units that are currently deployed will conduct the safety pause at their "earliest possible opportunity."
