Aircraft Safety

Aircraft Safety. Mission First... Safety Always!. Safety is not a box to check or a separate activity that we “finish.” Rather, safety must be an integral part of how we operate in every activity. Safety means…. Paying attention Thinking clearly Doing the “right thing”.

  1. Aircraft Safety

  2. Mission First... Safety Always! • Safety is not a box to check or a separate activity that we “finish.” • Rather, safety must be an integral part of how we operate in every activity.

  3. Safety means…. • Paying attention • Thinking clearly • Doing the “right thing”

  4. Safety & Risk Management Process • PERCEIVE hazards • PROCESS risk level • PERFORM risk management

  5. STEP ONE: PERCEIVE hazards related to: PILOT and PEOPLE involved in the event AIRCRAFT & ACTIVITY ENVIRONMENT for activity or event EXTERNAL PRESSURES on participants

  6. STEP TWO: for each hazard, PROCESS risk by considering: CONSEQUENCES of each hazard ALTERNATIVES REALITY (no wishful thinking allowed!) EXTERNAL PRESSURES involved

  7. STEP THREE: for each risk, PERFORM risk management: TRANSFER if appropriate ELIMINATE hazards whenever possible ACCEPT when benefits > consequences MITIGATE hazards and associated risk

  8. Aircraft Safety Example: SAR Exercise • Pilot(s) trained, qualified, current? • Passengers & crew briefed? • Routine / normal operations • Emergency operations & exit • Use of safety belts • Cockpit resource management • Checklists used at all times? • Regular / frequent breaks planned? • Water/food available? • Uniforms appropriate for activity, wx? PILOT

  9. Aircraft Safety Example: SAR Exercise • Briefing for caution around prop? • Ramp safety procedures observed? • Performance calculations made? • Weight & balance computed? • Preflight inspection completed? • Squawks cleared? • Emergency equipment on board? AIRCRAFT

  10. Aircraft Safety Example: SAR Exercise • Weather conditions acceptable? • Wing/tail clearance from hangar? • At least 2 people to pull/push from hangar • Use centerlines & max movement lines • Do not rush! • Airspace reviewed (incl. TFRs)? • Runway lengths acceptable? • Airport layout reviewed? ENVIRONMENT

  11. Aircraft Safety Example: SAR Exercise • Safety veto policy* in place? • Safety veto policy briefed to all? • External pressures identified/briefed? • “Antidotes” to pressures briefed? • Pride / ego issues left at the door? EXTERNALPRESSURES *Any CAP member must be able to make a “safety veto” on any activity at any time, without fear of ridicule or reprisal from any other member.

  12. Aircraft Safety Example: Audience participation • Think of an activity or event familiar to you. • What are the hazards arising from the Pilot and People involved, the Aircraft & activity, the enVironment for the event, and the External pressures? • For each hazard, think of Consequences, Alternatives, Reality, External pressures. • What can you do to Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate the risk to safety?
