  3. Current regulatory provisions • ICAO, Annex 14: • Para. 10.2.1 and • Para. 2.9.3 • Doc 9137 Airport Services Manual Part 8 • UK Interpretation in CAP168 • EASA • Implementing Rules for aerodromes due to come into effect in Jan 2014. BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  4. ECAC FOD WG • Commenced discussions in May 2009 • EU stakeholder NAAs, inc Eurocontrol & FAA • The final report submitted to ICAO’s General Assembly • no international regulation of FOD management; • no globally accepted definition of FOD or taxonomy; • lack of comparative data due to data collection inconsistencies • ECCAIRS FOD reporting page BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  5. ICAO 37th Assembly • ICAO will take the lead in establishing a global definition and taxonomy on FOD. BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  6. EUROCAE FOD WG Produce recommendations for regulatory bodies (EASA, ICAO) on future specifications and standards relating to automatic FOD detection, covering both technical performance and operational procedures and integration. BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  9. Health & Safety at Work 31% of FOD MORs were found on aircraft stands BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  10. UK CAA FOD Catalogue • Catalogued items found on Runways, Taxiways and Aprons. • Runway FOD fell into 2 categories: • Aircraft parts that have become detached. • Items of ground equipment inadvertently left behind on aircraft. BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  11. UK CAA FOD Catalogue • Taxiway FOD: mainly associated with airport vehicles, from tow bars to springs. • Parking stand FOD: larger items associated with vehicles but many smaller items associated with baggage and cargo. BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  12. Regulation only can go so far to eliminate FOD risk.Identification and clean-up is the second half of the equation. We need more effort to prevent items from getting there in the first place. BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow

  15. SMS in practice SMS: an operator should identify all hazards and risks, and put in place appropriate mitigation What if some of those hazards result from the operation or integration of the activities of a separate organisation on the aerodrome? What if the mitigation requires the co-operation of other organisations? In fact, a great majority of the functions/activities on an aerodrome are of a cross-functional nature BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow 15 15

  17. Informed culture People are knowledgeable about the human, technical, organizational and environmental factors that determine the safety of the system as a whole. Flexible culture People can adapt organizational processes when facing high temporary operations or certain kinds of danger, shifting from the conventional hierarchical mode to a flatter mode. Reporting culture People are prepared to report their errors and experiences Positive culture Learning culture People have the willingness and the competence to draw conclusions from safety information systems and the will to implement major reforms. Just culture People are encouraged (even rewarded) for providing essential safety-related information. However, there is a clear line that differentiates between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. Source: David Marx Positive Culture BAA FOD Conference London Heathrow
