Today’s Objective… “Examine how it can be done”
You know it’s the right thing to do, but… • It requires resources you don’t have • It’s too much red tape • It’s hard to understand and can be overwhelming • It’s an interruption to your operation/mission • It could result in changes to how you currently operate • It could be hard to get buy in from the team
Surprise! You’re probably already doing it and don’t know it
Build a structure around what you’re already doing… Tighten the process Close the gaps
Where to start… • What are you committed to? • How will you fulfill the commitment? • Who’s responsible?
Risk Assessment… • Mission • Personnel experience • Human Factors • Aircraft status • Environment • Landing Zone • Other
“Carelessness and overconfidence are more dangerous than deliberately accepted risk”~ Wilbur Wright, 1901
Final thought…why IS-BAO? • Regulatory pressures • Insurance advantages • HAI accreditation • Betterment of the company • Other
