7. The goal of Aviation Safety Office To prevent aircraft accidents and thereby preserve life and property of UN staff as well as others who may have been placed in the Organization`s care. This goal shall be perused through a combination of comprehensive practices for aeronautical operations, and an effective Aviation Accident Prevention Program.

8. The Basic Philosophy of Ensuring of Aviation Safety The approach to ensuring of aviation safety is based on the philosophy that it is irresponsible and wasteful to wait for an accident to happen, then figuring out how to prevent it from happening again. We manage risk to make our chances of success as great as possible, while making our chances of failure, injury or loss as small as possible. It is a common sense approach to balancing the risks against the benefits to be gained in a situation and then choosing the most effective course of action.

9. What is Safety? In aviation the complete elimination of incidents and accidents is unachievable. Failures will occur, in spite of the most accomplished prevention efforts. So, control of risks and control of errors are acceptable in an inherently safe system. For this fundamental reason, ICAO defines safety as the state in which the risk of harm to persons or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management.

10. Principles of Aviation Operational Risk Management (ORM): • Do not accept unnecessary Risk • Accept risk only when the benefits outweigh worst possible outcome • Make risk decisions at the appropriate level • ORM process is fully integrated at all levels of Planning and Execution

11. It must be always assumed in operation that all safety management activities should be proactive which means that accidents and incidents must be prevented by mitigating of any unsafe conditions, operations and procedures in order to reduce the risks to as low as reasonably practicable.

12. Tolerability Matrix

13. In UN operation the most restrictive policy is applied. The restrictions are ongoing from: National Regulations of Operator. ICAO Regulations. UN Regulations. Mission Regulations. Hosting Country Regulations.

14. Reporting System Sound safety management and effective accident prevention is based on a full, accurate and timely reporting system of all occurrences and hazards, followed by a timely investigation of the incident, a dissemination of the recommendations and required actions to all involved. This is a basic requirement that places a great responsibility on the safety of the organization at all levels. Observed Hazard Report In general, people are the most important aspect in the process of identifying, reporting and controlling hazards. The Observed Hazard Report (OHR) is a tool that allows all UN personnel to report hazards to the appropriate areas as soon as they become aware of them, therefore contributing to the general safety level of the Organization

22. Reporting System • Purpose: Report to Aviation Safety Unit any hazard or safety concern by anyone who observes it; • Timing: As soon as observation is made; • Forms have to be available / easily accessible to all Mission staff; awareness is a key to success; • Variety of communications means – in person, fax, email, web or Lotus based access, etc.

23. How to report • Use on-line form in Intranet (Quick Link UNMIL Forms); • Lotus Notes, E-mail; • Phone call, verbal report; Ext: 7347, 7395, 7396, • Cell: (0531) 9282, 9525, 9646 • By mail (hard copy).

31. All staff should provide in-time reporting about all flights, meteorological conditions and security situation to Air Operations Duty Officer, to Meteorological officer and to Flight Following Officers. • All staff should immediately report to Aviation Safety Unit any observed hazards, unsafe practices and procedures and about any occurrences connected with operation of UNMIL Aviation.

32. Safety Briefings and Aircraft Evacuation Procedures in UN Missions – General Info • Safety Induction Briefing from ASU upon arrival to Mission area (ref. UNMIL Aviation SOP Section III Chapter 7: General Travel Procedures paragraph 7.2); • Safety Briefings from MOVCON staff on check-in and before boarding to aircraft (ref. UNMIL Aviation SOP Section III Chapter 7: General Travel Procedures paragraph 7.3); • Crew Pre-flight Safety Briefing (ref. UNMIL Aviation SOP Section IV Chapter 11: Air Crew Flight Procedures paragraph 11.9);

33. Crew Pre-Flight Safety Briefing Should Include, But Not Be Limited To: The crew will carry out a pre-departure briefing to the passengers on the following items which enhance air safety: a) Emergency equipment on board the aircraft. b) Position and number of Emergency Exits. c) In-flight safety procedures. d) Location and demonstration on the use of life jackets. e) Location and demonstration on the use of oxygen masks f) Use of seat belts and safety harness. g) Procedures to be followed during normal and emergency embarking and disembarking. h) Strict adherence to no-smoking on board aircraft.

45. CURRENT OPERATION

46. Operations - Communications 14/11/2008 UN-XXX Mi-8MT RIA Runway Incursion. At 10:48 UTC the ATC Roberts Tower cleared the helicopter UN-XXX to taxi via taxiway “A” to Runway 22. When the helicopter UN-XXX reported the ATC Roberts Tower lineup in position Runway 22, the B-737 was on final to land on Runway 04. The B-737 conducted missed approach procedure to go around and the helicopter UN-XXX vacated the runway to proceed at holding position on the Taxiway “A”. The initial evidence shows that the aircraft was "cleared to taxi to RWY 22" and that the crew of UN-XXX did not require clearance to enter the RWY once they reached the entry point.

47. Bird Strikes 09/03/2010 UN-XXX Mi-24 Tubmanburg Bird Strike. During landing at 30 feet altitude the helicopter struck a bird with one of the blades of the main rotor. The helicopter landed on the airstrip uneventfully. After landing the helicopter was inspected by the crew and a bird impact was found in the # 4 blade. 09/03/2010 UN-XXX Mi-8MTV SPA Bird Strike. After departure fro Spriggs Payne Airfield (SPA) at 09.54 AM, and while climbing out at about 20 t0 30 feet above ground, UN-XXX collided with some birds, but the crew did not notice that. They were informed of the collision with birds by the Air Operations Duty Officer (AOC DO). On checking, the crew reported nothing abnormal with the aircraft and continued withy their flight on to Greenville where they landed, uneventfully at 11:07 AM.

50. Ramp Incident 20/05/2010 UN-XXX B-757 Abuja, Nigeria Ramp Incident When in parking position with parking brake set in Abuja, Nigeria, the approaching passenger steps hit the fuselage beneath the entry door "2L". The bounce was very strong and the driver of the steps ran away. The steps were then repositioned by another driver. A few dents were found during exterior inspection. Airport representative was invited to take part in investigation and to sign the report together with others (Pilot in Command and ground engineer). After the assessment of damages in accordance with Aircraft Maintenance Manual the Aircraft was released until the next c-check not to exceed 24 months.
