6. Corporate Flight Operational Quality Assurance C-FOQA Presented by: Stephen Harms steve.harms@hp.com

7. C-FOQA Recording • DFDR supplies the data stream • Quick Access Recorder (QAR) records data stream on a scandisk card • Data is transmitted to FDS for processing • Pilots provide supplemental data about events

8. C-FOQA Benefits • SMS program enhancement • IBAC recommendation • Insurance rate reduction

9. Data Review • FOQA events are reviewed by the Safety Officer for the following issues: • Safety • SOPs • Training • Flight Standards • Quality Assurance • Maintenance

10. The Basics • Review process must be fair and just! • Data must be used in a non-punitive environment! • Review process must not fall into the blame culture that often permeates our industry!

11. FOQA Will Identify Safety Problems • Pilots provide only subjective data based on their perceptions and experiences and often report this only when absolutely necessary • FOQA reports objective, quantitative data on what occurred during a flight • FOQA yields precise, unbiased information for evaluation • FOQA is not based on just perceived problems or risks; it looks at all parameters

12. Big Brother?Perhaps • FOQA is used to identify suspected problems • Unknown problems! • FAR, AFM, SOP noncompliance Resulting in a proactive safety culture to facilitate fixing problems before they become critical through : • Training • SOPs • Engine and systems monitoring

13. Chief Pilot Issues Identified by C-FOQA • FAR violations • Non adherence to SOPs • Non adherence to AFM/AOM • Flying outside the box • Rogue behavior • Sloppy flying (training/performance issues) • Speed control • Bank control • Pitch control • Non stabilized approach

14. Stabilized Approaches • TOD • ROD below 1000’ AFE • LOC/GS/GP tolerances • EGPWS alerts • Secondary flight controls over speed • High energy approach and landings • Long landings • High energy braking

15. Event Review Process • Safety Officer receives an e-mail generated by FDS with the basic details of an event • Service provider web site expands on the event • FOQA data is then reviewed event by event for outliers and trends Events are broken down into seconds pre and post • Pilots are expected to file an outlier event report • Generally they will beat themselves up, they get it • Others seem oblivious, they need to get it • A peer (line pilot) will then hold an interview if appropriate • If a serious event occurs or there is a stalemate the Chief Pilot will take over

17. Protections • All data is de-identified • Ops Managers do not have open access to the individuals involved • Only 3 people have access to the actual event data at HPA • Outliers are generally verified by the service provider • NASA
