The F-16 Weapons System has brought a vigilant perspective and a predictive attitude to the Portuguese Air Force, particularly at Monte Real Air Base, regarding the safety of all activities contributing to the mission.

From Flight Safety to Ground and Armament Safety, as well as the care and guarantees related to good maintenance practices, the philosophy and operational approach of everyone involved in the F-16 mission consistently prioritize flight safety.

In this regard, the Portuguese F-16 fleet proudly maintains the lowest accident rates per flight hour when compared to other similar fleets worldwide.
