ASAP Aviation Safety Action Program Not your “Dirty-Thirty’s Flight Safety Report” FSR’s visible to all. Very circumspect in reporting issues lest they haunt you later.
Be Very Open & Honest - Suggest Fixes!
“Fatal 5” will get you excluded: Criminal Activity, Substance Abuse, Controlled Substances, Alcohol Involvement Intentional Falsification - This is the ONLY one you can control “after the fact” EVERYONE Reports - More complete picture to ERC
ASAP Aviation Safety Action Program Some Statistics: 1329 Reports as of 5/9/12 (8.25 / day & growing!) definite) Enforcements Avoided: (This is nebulous... Can’t be 100% 12 - 15 LOC / LOW (Letter of Correction / Letter of Warning) FAA Believes you violated CFR 14....
More Common: LONA - Letter of No Action •
Doesn’t Exist!
ASAP Aviati on Safety Action Program Some More Statistics: Discipline Avoided - even MORE nebulous - 3 or 4 Case where we believe the company wanted to talk to the crew in addition to ASAP... which, “Could lead” to a section 19 hearing.
To their credit, managers involved WANTED ASAP to handle it first.
Agreement was reached, ‘no reason not to accept the report at regular meeting’ Still open crew issues resolved, but ‘systemic issues’ remain that must be addressed
ASAP Aviation Safety Action Program Concerns Only one and it’s beyond our control...
Company has designated only one person to be the Event Review Committee (ERC) Rep: Tom Jenkins.
He has been great, but what if he’s sick or injured?
Manager in Safety tells me that two people are currently being considered for Co. ERC Rep.
Our Reps: Paul Zahner, Stu Harro, Ryan Travis, Mike Bender, Stacy Horn, Dennis Sparks, Dave Wright (Training)
FOQA Flight Ops Quality Assurance Capt Dave Wright - ASAP / FOQA Chair has expressed a desire to do ASAP only.
F/O Gordon Oliver FOQA Chair / Capt Chris Croce FOQA Vice Gordon: Chris: MS Systems Engineering NPS & ASO Course 1983 Ole Miss - Computer Science USN F/A-18 ASO Lead Investigator 2 Class “A” Mishaps Retired USN F/A-18 Sqn CO Former VP Ops “Check 6” 135 Employee Co NPS Monterey ASO Recoded MUCH of our Bus & MD-11 Data Monitoring MD-11 F/O Tech Pilot Flt Test ANC PSIT Airbus Captain FedEx
FOQ Flight Ops Quality Assurance Status 727: Will NEVER be part of FOQA 777 - Flight Data being monitored by SAGEM Planning on “taking the 777 keys” to FOQA later this year 75, Bus, MDs ALL being monitored MD = Gatelink 75 / Bus = PC Cards pulled and ‘read’ Up to 2 weeks before data gets to servers
FOQA Flight Ops Quality Assurance FOQA Monitoring Team - FMT 5 Company FMT’s + 2 Staff & One Manager 8 ALPA FMT’s - 6 of whom are “Gate Keepers” Gate keeper can only see “who” for 2 weeks before the data disappears forever.
Can make a call to crew. ONLY gate keeper
ever
knows the crew’s identity
FOQA Flight Ops Quality Assurance FMT - Process: Tedious & Data Analysis Intensive Data input by Staff Validate Data e.g. 5,213 ‘Hi Power’ Taxi events...
Must be validated as legit or not; location, LTAET etc Investigate further if needed Goal: Process for ‘trends’ e.g. Location most unstable apc’s Report Back to ‘Customers’: Crews, Trng&Std, Mx, Mgmt Mgmt (in that order, please!)
FOQA Flight Ops Quality Assurance Current Projects: Writing ‘Crew Contact’ manual - “When & How To” Hi Power Taxi events on ramps Stall Warning / Stick Shaker Events Unstable Approaches (as defined in FOM)
with Rapid Derotation after T/D Studying this to include crew contacts asking perspectives to expand on computer only data
FOQA Flight Ops Quality Assurance Hard Landing with Rapid Derotation after T/D to find common factors in previous landing incidents/accidents which continue to show up in the data (Hard, Rapid Derotation Rate and Bounced Landings) Get this trend data back to the crews through training and FOQA feedback
FOQA Resources: Space, Terminals & Licenses 5 Terminals shared by 15 people Input, Validate, Process, Report - VERY Intensive process Resistance to FOQA Facts Newsletter (PFC) Waiting for others to it ‘chop’ that have no business chopping e.g. Training & Standards because ‘how to fly’ we’re not telling people
FOQA Leadership & Priorities - Metrics to Management FIRST Should be: Pilots / Trng & Stds / Mx / Engineering / Management
SMS Paradigm not yet in place: Silos that don’t see themselves ‘stakeholders’ in the success of FOQA as No Process to communicate un-reported aircraft exceedances These concerns are being communicated to management - not ‘hinting and hoping’!
