  1. Issues specific to general aviation and business jets Session 5 Presentation 3

  2. Hazards • Communication • Language proficiency • Native/non-Native Accents • Response time to radiotelephony (RT) call • Call sign/Tail number confusion • Lack of information regarding: • opening/closing times of ATC Sectors • Frequency availability • Local weather • Aerodrome layout • Guidance material (maps/charts) • Local terrain

  3. Hazards (Continued) • Performance • Lack of tabulated data • High aircraft weights • High temperature/High Altitude operation (e.g., Saana) with inadequate equipment • Inaccurate loading information • Low level wake turbulence as a result of reduced separation from wide body aircraft

  4. Hazards (Continued) • Navigation factors: • local deviation/variation from published approach procedures • Non conformity with WGS84 • Displayed GPS trajectory air and ground of onboard navigation material not aligned with reality in advanced aircraft cockpits • Operating to VFR or military airfields • Limited or non-existent navigation charts

  5. Hazards (Continued) • Human factors: • Peer pressure (Level 1/VIP clientele) • Fatigue • Night operations • Long standbys • Long duty days • Cultural differences • Multi-national flight crew composition • Inadequate CRM training • Resignation • Effect of operational factors

  6. Hazards (Continued) Environment • Non-qualified ramp personnel (Marshaller) • Frequent and large scale construction sites (inadequately marked and illuminated) • Airport design and marking designed for “Wide Body aircraft”- obstructed or confusing when operating from smaller scale corporate jets • Approach design requiring non-standard/unstable final approach configuration (e.g., Al Bateen RNP/approach) • Runway/taxiway contamination

  7. Mitigation • Performance • Development of library of tabulated performance data • Implementation of SMS • Operations • Use maximum available aircraft external lights • Not accepting ATC clearances to divert from SID/STAR and published Approach Procedures • Use of “follow-me” vehicles (ATC) • Adhere to standard ICAO RT • Progressive taxi guidance (ATC) • Use of check-list for new airport operations • Use of latest generation technology (EVS, SVS, HUD)

  8. Mitigation (Continued) • Training/Education • Intensified Line Training • ATC / pilot awareness program • exposure using simulators • Emphasize maximum performance take-offs • Human Factors and CRM training • Information Sharing Platform (exchange of experience) • Passenger Education on the necessity to divert from “comfort flying” – application of brakes (auto brakes) and full reverse thrust
