5. UNMIL Aviation Fleet Composition • aircraft assigned to UNMIL • MI-8 MTV/AMT: 9 • MI-8 MT: 3 • MI-26 T: 1 • MI-24: 3 • B-737 (fixed wing): 1 • Dash-7 (fixed wing):1 • Beech-200 (fixed wing): 1

6. In UN operation the most restrictive policy is applied. The restrictions are ongoing from: National Regulations of Operator. ICAO Regulations. UN Regulations. Mission Regulations. Hosting Country Regulations.

7. Reporting System Sound safety management and effective accident prevention is based on a full, accurate and timely reporting system of all occurrences and hazards, followed by a timely investigation of the incident, a dissemination of the recommendations and required actions to all involved. This is a basic requirement that places a great responsibility on the safety of the organization at all levels. Observed Hazard Report In general, people are the most important aspect in the process of identifying, reporting and controlling hazards. The Observed Hazard Report (OHR) is a tool that allows all UN personnel to report hazards to the appropriate areas as soon as they become aware of them, therefore contributing to the general safety level of the Organization

22. Examples of Good Practices

23. UNMIL EXPERIENCE

24. Operations - Communications

25. Operations - Communications 14/11/2008 UN-XXX Mi-8MT RIA Runway Incursion. At 10:48 UTC the ATC Roberts Tower cleared the helicopter UN-XXX to taxi via taxiway “A” to Runway 22. When the helicopter UN-XXX reported the ATC Roberts Tower lineup in position Runway 22, the B-737 was on final to land on Runway 04. The B-737 conducted missed approach procedure to go around and the helicopter UN-XXX vacated the runway to proceed at holding position on the Taxiway “A”. The initial evidence shows that the aircraft was "cleared to taxi to RWY 22" and that the crew of UN-XXX did not require clearance to enter the RWY once they reached the entry point.

26. Different 26/03/2008 UN-XXX B-757 RIA Other After landing, during post-flight inspection, crew found damages on right main gear (breaking box, and one tire) and two blades of the compressor of left engine, presumably caused by FOD on the runway during landing. Damages affected the airworthiness of the aircraft and since it was night time further inspections of both, aircraft and runway were delayed to next day in the morning. The investigation showed that there was lack of traffic advisory information to both aircraft leading to them being close while in flight. The aircraft suffered damage to one tire, breaking system box and metal panels of the right main gear leg; and two blades of the left engine's compressor. An inspection of the runway revealed an area located at 1450 meters from threshold of RWY 04, close to the centerline, where the surface cracked and came apart into pieces of different sizes (total area estimated to be around 2 square meters).

27. Bird Strike 10/04/2008 UN-XXX B-757 RIA Bird Strike During approach for RWY 04 at Roberts, on the phase of flare, with 5-3 meters height, a flock of little birds was crossing, and some of them were injected by the left engine. Engine parameters remained OK and reverse trust was not used. An inspection was done after parking, and parts of feathers were found at the fan blades, but no elements were found with damage. An engine run up was conducted and parameters were OK.

28. Bird Strike 17/10/2008 UN-XXX B-757 Accra Bird Strike During takeoff, a "clap" noise was heard. Engines and systems parameters remained normal. After landing in Monrovia, during post flight inspection, it was discovered that some damage on left the engine. There were also rests of blood and feathers on blades of the compressor (low pressure stage). The aircraft has sustained damage on eight compressor blades and sonic liner of the left engine, caused by a bird strike during takeoff from Kotoka International Airport, Accra, Ghana.

29. Technical Air Crew 04/12/2008 UN-XXX B-757 Accra Technical Air Crew On 04/12/2008, aircraft Boeing B 757, call sign UN XXX returned to its home base at Roberts International Airport (RIA), Liberia from a Troop Rotation flight from Abuja, Nigeria and landed uneventfully at 18.39 Hrs. During maintenance check while the aircraft was on the apron (ground), the maintenance crew discovered that the outer window pane for passenger seat row 25 (A, B, C) was cracked out of safe operational limit. The outer window pane was replaced and the aircraft returned to operations

30. Bird Strike 21/12/2008 UN-XXX B-757 RIA Bird Strike While UN XXX was rolling for take-off from RIA Runway 04 and just before rotation speed was reached, the Pilot in Command (PIC) noticed a big bird moving towards the aero plane from the left (port) side. Next he noticed that the bird had disappeared under the aircraft wing. He continued and took-off. He scanned his cock-pit instruments. All systems operated normally. There was NO EICAS (Electronic) message indicating any abnormality. The engine parameters were normal. The PIC thought he had missed the bird while taking-off. He continued with the flight normally and landed safely in Accra at 10.43 Hrs. During the approach to Accra, the PIC reported there seeing nothing wrong with any indications. All systems and engines operated normally. (To be continued on the next page)

31. Bird Strike 21/12/2008 UN-XXX B-757 RIA Bird Strike (Continuation from the previous page) During the after flight walk around by the PIC, he saw a dead eagle stuck between the hydraulic hoses (flexible pipes) on the left main landing gears (undercarriage). One of the hoses (flexible pipes) was broken and a hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. The aircraft was immediately grounded and the return flight to RIA Monrovia was cancelled. An order for replacement pipe was made as none could be obtained in Accra. A new pipe was received in Accra on 22/12/2008 at 21.55 Hrs. It was immediately fitted and the aircraft returned to service at 0000 Hrs on 23/12/2008. (See photos on the next page)

33. Bird Strikes SPA

34. Unruly Passengers 04/03/2009 UN-XXX B-757 RIA Other (Unruly Passengers) The Jordanian Troops and Jordanian Police who were being rotated from ONUCI, using Boeing B 757, UN XXX on several legs between Amman (Jordan), Tripoli (Libya) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast) on several flights continue smoking on board in international flights. Investigation is proving difficult because of the two Missions involve and also the concerned Vim crew stayed out of both missions and have already been rotated.

35. Other 31/05/2009 UN-XXX B-757 RIA Other Post Flight Inspection after landing in Roberts International Airport (RIA), there was damage to the bogie of right main landing gear. There was damage to brake wires, junction boxes, brake wear indicators, some asphalt stones logged within the wheel bogie system. There was also a scratch on one of the fan blades of the right engine. Some small holes were also found in the right engine intake acoustic panel. When the runway was inspected after this discovery, several pot holes or runway surface peel-off were discovered, some had diameters of between one meter and one and half meter. There are about ten such runway surface peeling along the runway, beginning from threshold runway 04. These runway conditions have been routinely reported by UNMIL Airfield Management to the Management of RIA, but nothing to date has been done to rectify the situation.

36. Ramp Incident 20/05/2010 UN-XXX B-757 Abuja, Nigeria Ramp Incident When in parking position with parking brake set in Abuja, Nigeria, the approaching passenger steps hit the fuselage beneath the entry door "2L". The bounce was very strong and the driver of the steps ran away. The steps were then repositioned by another driver. A few dents were found during exterior inspection. Airport representative was invited to take part in investigation and to sign the report together with others (Pilot in Command and ground engineer). After the assessment of damages in accordance with Aircraft Maintenance Manual the Aircraft was released until the next c-check not to exceed 24 months.
