Pre-existing disease is present in Naval aircraft mishaps, but there is presently no indication that it actually causes, or even contributes to, the mishap sequence. This paper reviews the literature on this subject and analyzes the evidence available. Naval aviators are a healthy, watched-over, well-defined young population. Diagnosed pre-existing disease which could be incapacitating is disqualifying for aviation duty. The pre-existing disease reported in Medical Officer's Reports usually would not be incapacitating. However, a disease process may present and contribute significantly to a "pilot error" or "undetermined" mishap, and not be found at autopsy.
海军飞机事故中存在既往疾病，但目前没有迹象表明它实际上导致了事故发生序列，甚至也没有迹象表明它对事故发生序列有任何促成作用。本文回顾了关于该主题的文献，并分析了现有证据。海军飞行员是一群健康、受到密切关注且界定明确的年轻群体。被诊断出的可能导致失能的既往疾病会使飞行员失去执行飞行任务的资格。医务官报告中所记录的既往疾病通常不会导致失能。然而，一种疾病过程可能会出现，并对“飞行员失误”或“原因不明”的事故产生重大影响，且在尸检时未被发现。
