When something goes wrong, then there is no safety. When nothing goes wrong, when things just work as they should, then there is safety. Therefore: The scientific study of safety should focus on situations where nothing goes wrong. by Erik Hollnagel, 2013 We learn and relearn to improve resilience, Thank you Sunjoo Advani for giving us the opportunity to change our mindset on Upset Prevention Recovery Training (UPRT) https://lnkd.in/g8gfmKBd

Have you got the ‘Dirty Dozen’ on your mind? With EASA making them a key focus this year, I started thinking about how a Part 145 organisation should control these error traps. The ‘Dirty Dozen’ are complacency, fatigue, knowledge, pressure, teamwork, communication, norms, resources, assertiveness, distraction, stress, and awareness. Part 145 organisations are already required to have these controls in place, which should act as barriers to at least some of the ‘Dirty Dozen’: - Staff Training - Competency Assessments - Production Planning - Shift Handovers - Manpower plan - Independent Compliance Monitoring - Safety Promotion What additional barriers do you think Part 145 organisations need to manage their ‘Dirty Dozen’ hazards? #aviation #sms #safety #part145 #quality #hazards #risks #dirtydozen

Many/most business aviation flight departments do not use licensed dispatchers, so there is a gap in training between scheduling a trip and comprehending the requirements of the trip route, airport, crew, and aircraft. Advanced Aircrew Academy's Flight Coordinator curriculum encompasses the job roles of scheduler, flight coordinator, and general dispatch. Our Flight Coordinator training options allow you to build a customized training plan with a variety of topics that cover the basics of required aircraft knowledge, parameters of scheduling and building trips, and the overlying process, procedures, and regulations that decide how and when an aircraft can be dispatched. Link to curriculum: https://lnkd.in/gvFd2psH We can customize the curriculum to your GOM/FOM. Or, modules can be purchased separately.

SOLAS Convention/ Pilot Ladder/ SAFETY FIRST ⚓️ Safety attract my attention always the most, SOLAS V/23 sets out the minimum standards for pilot transfer arrangements on The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) set standards related to pilot transfer. Minimum that all vessels must comply. Ladder must be certified and periodically tested. Where this test has not been conducted within 30 months, the ladder should not be used until the test is conducted, or the ladder is replaced. Very simple to follow. Buying ladder it is compulsory to indicate the date when ladder is in use and control the date (24-30 month) to renew ladder.

Pilot ladders over 30 months old must have a certificate of strength testing as per ISO 799-1:2019(E) ” 10.4 Each ladder shall be subjected to the ladder and step attachment strength test in Table 2 at not more than 30-month intervals. Each ladder that fails the test shall be rebuilt according to 10.3, or scrapped. The ladder shall be marked with the date of the test and the identification of the person or company performing the test. This marking shall be placed on the same steps as marking required by 8.1 of this document.” Pilot ladders that fail an inspection, or that are over 30 months old and have no strength testing certificate, should never be used. Any service onboard or step replacement at the ladder must be arranged by makers authorized persons. You may download the ISO standards here. https://lnkd.in/e8d478rT

Given the two recent #aviationsafety incidents, I summarized my thoughts. In short: Not just since the MAX's MCAS-problem, we have a #flightsafety problem. Commercial demands and (implied) #shareholdervalue overriding safety concerns?

Safety culture is an important driver of safety performance. This article offers great insight on how to improve measurement of safety culture and climate at various levels in your organization.

Culture can be difficult to measure, but it’s a significant element of your safety management system that must be monitored and evaluated.   Here’s what you can learn from the aviation industry.

It is about meticulous planning, attention to detail, and a commitment to preparedness. As aviation professionals, you understand that safety is not a product of chance but a result of deliberate effort
