  1. Impacts of FOD & Wildlife Heathrow FOD Conference JJ DeGiovanni United Airlines Managing Director – Ground Safety 1(847) 700 – 4600 November 9, 2010

  2. Agenda • Space Shuttle Clip • Philosophy & Program • Impact to the Airline • Strategy • Airport Authority

  3. Philosophy and FOD/ Wildlife Program Our Philosophy: Run a world class airline, always with a safety mindset to operate effectively and efficiently. • Our FOD & Wildlife Program: • Mitigate and reduce the risk of personnel / customer injury and aircraft damage. • Fly Safe (Safe Airline, Safe Customers) • Improve Reliability • Reduce Cost Impacts

  4. Airline Impact $113 Million Annual Impact

  5. 2009 Tire FOD Events • 916 Tires Damaged replaced • Estimated Tires Replaced cost to the airline = $4.5 Mil Average Tire Cost =$4,900

  6. Wildlife Reporting FY2009 • 122 FSAP Reports • Cyclical Curve Top Stations on FSAP Reports DEN = 20 ORD = 18 IAD = 11 SFO = 9

  7. Global Bird Migration 2009 Out of Service Events FOD & Wildlife • 37 aircraft out-of-service • Peak months due to bird migration • Out-of-service time cost $1.2 Million

  8. Engine Cost Impact 2009 • Blended / Replaced Blades • $2.3 Million (Est.) • Engines Pulled • $85 Million (Est.) • Engine Cowl Damaged • $17.5 Million (Est.) Total = $113 Million

  9. Customers Affected FOD Flight Cancellation Wildlife Aircraft Inspection / Repair Flight Revenue Customers Scores Ferry Costs Crews Re-schedule Maintenance Cost Parts Availability Overtime Out of Service Time Vendor Maintenance Re-Allocating Aircraft Hotel Cost Industry Performance Re-Allocating Aircraft Reliability Impacts 2009

  10. FOD Curiosities Space Debris Wildlife on Roads Construction Field Snake in Landing Gear Baggage Container Bag Scanner AC Unit Hose Bald Eagle on Runway Rag in Engine Food Industry Water Space Shuttle Debris Saw Horse Bolts, screws, metal pieces Medical Field Overloaded Trucks

  11. FOD & Wildlife Program StructureHierarchical Approach Input… • CORPORATE / DIVISIONAL

  12. Objective Controllable cost, and not a cost of doing business. Metrics Determine risk. Effectiveness, Take Action Methodology Each station FOD and Wildlife plan – Active Engagement Focus resources at locations where risks are the highest. FOD & Wildlife Program • Inputs: • Data reporting / analyses (ERS) • Program execution • Training • Vendor management • Communication • Information access • What this program covers: • Ground Induced FOD, Airfield • Wildlife • Maintenance (tools, hangar space) • Weather – Ice, Snow, Hail

  13. Our Priorities • Always with a Safety Mindset… • Safe Reliable Airline • Controlled Approach • Predictable Outcome • Wildlife • Safety of Flight • Mitigation • Bias for Action • Ramp • Safety of Personnel • Don’t Inflict Pain • Clean Work Environment • Weather • Safety of Personnel/Customers • DTN (Prediction) • Reliability

  14. Corporate Strategy Event Reporting System USDA Corporate • Responsible of maintaining the Corporate Policy • SME support to station management • Helping to Develop mediation plans • Recommendations & guidance for mitigation • Event reporting tools (Damage, FAA) • Communications, data analysis, trends • Interaction with Airport Authorities & Government Agencies Trends / Analyses Station Reporting Airport Authority FAA

  15. Monthly Reports by Station ERS – Event Reporting System Station ManagementDaily Due Diligence • Policy and Programs Execution / Responsibility • Employee Coaching and Training • Root Cause / Forensic Analyses • Pre Arrival / Departure checks • Performance • Trends • Event Reporting / Investigating • Direct Communication • Airport Authority, USDA, FAA • Safety Meetings • Direct Interaction with Airport Authority • Participate in Monthly meeting, FOD walks • Safety Concerns / Awareness (Gate Areas)

  16. Arrival/departure Checks Checklists FOD Walks FOD Boss / Sweepers Publications / Communications Clean Work Environment General Housekeeping • Pre-Arrival / Departure FOD Checks • FOD Walks • FOD Buckets • FOD Boss • Checklists / Consistency • FOD Publications (UA / Airport Authority) • Supervisor Monitoring / Coaching • Wildlife – Airport Authority • Pre Task Briefings Day to Day Operations

  17. Wildlife • February / September Ramp up • Reports / Trends by Location • Ride Alongs • Discuss Events • Communicate • Everyone Involvement • Competitors Shared Information (ATA)

  18. Airport Authority • Priorities • General Housekeeping Efforts • Construction • Events – Damages • Technology to Improve Reliability • Communication of Share Events – Transparency • Potential Impacts Interior / Exterior to Airports FOD / Wildlife Free Airports

  19. Weather • Better Protect: Our Customers / Our Planes / Our People • Increase Airline Reliability • DTN Addresses: • Severe Weather • Hail / High Winds • Dust Storms • Lightning • Ice / Snow (Blade Damage) • Real Time Notification • Accurate Weather Forecast • Alerts to PDA’s / text / Email • Currently in Use by Airport Ops, Maintenance, Ops Control

  20. Innovated Technology • Radar Technology (BOS) • FOD Camera Technology (ORD) • Airport Bird Radar • DNA / USDA • FOD Boss at Stations

  21. FOD Forensics Finds • Address Found on Arrival (FOA) damage. • Speed Tape Samples • The results pointed to 300 series Stainless Steel • Landing gear threw FOD into Cowling • Spectral Analysis

  22. Maintenance • Communicate Policy and Programs Execution / Responsibility • Tool Controls • Tools box inventory, Accountability • Post Maintenance housekeeping • Daily Sweeps / FOD Boss, FOD Walks • FOD Management – Vendors • Clean as you go, Area FOD-Free

  23. Communications • Event Notification /investigation • Trends / Reporting • Seasonality • Locations • USDA • Specific Plan to Control Species • Monthly Reports • Call to Action • FOD Flyer • Awareness • All Levels • FSAPS – Pilot Bird/FOD Event Reporting

  24. Eco-Power Wash • Is Carbon Soot – FOD? • Engine Build-up – Impacts Efficiency • Results in higher fuel burn & more CO2 • Hot purified water flush • Savings 3 million gallons of fuel and nearly 30,000 metric tones of CO2 per year. 6.8 Million gals or $26.6 Million Thinking Green

  25. In Summary • Safety of Flight / People • Integration • Proactive • Ensure of Success • Due Daily Diligence
