What is TEM? • “Defensive flying”
ICAO and FAA • In 2000, LOSA baseline results showed that error management had been incorporated into everyday operations. • Improved checklist usage and a 70% reduction in non-stabilised approaches. • ICAO made LOSA the central focus of flight safety and human factors programmes. • TEM and LOSA recognised Worldwide.
TEM Philosophy • Three basic concepts: • Anticipation • Recognition • Recovery • Recover first, analyse the cause later.
Threats • May be internal or external. • They are not caused by the crew. • They increase the operational complexity of a flight. • Require crew attention and management if safety margins are to be maintained.
What is a latent Threat? A threat that is not directly obvious to flight crew. Equipment design.
Threat Management - GPS • Threats & errors • Poor standardisation of GPS receivers • Poor integration with AP • Mis-interpretation of HSI Management Obtain training & practice (VMC) with make & model Use HDG mode when changing any detail In non-integ. cockpit, double-check mode
Errors • Error is a crew action or inaction that leads to a deviation from crew or organisational intentions or expectations. • Put simply: threats come “at” the crew, while errors come “from” the crew. • An Error that is detected and effectively managed has no adverse impact on the flight. • An error that is not detected cannot be managed.
Flight Crew Errors Can be divided into three types: • Aircraft Handling • Procedural • Communication Errors.
Consequence of Error • The very same error can have completely different consequences, depending on the factors involved. • Error : setting the flaps correctly for landing is forgotten. • Aircraft type and performance • Actual landing weight • Runway length and obstructions ahead
Undesired Aircraft State (UAS) • A UAS is defined as a position, speed, attitude or configuration of an aircraft that: • Results from flight crew error, actions or inaction • Clearly reduces safety margins • UAS can be managed effectively or mismanaged, leading to an additional error, UAS, an incident or accident.
TEM Application • T Terrain • W Weather • O Operational • P Plan
TWO-P • Terrain old • Terrain new • Weather good • Weather bad • Operational in • Operational out
TWO-P • Assessing threats does not make them go away. • A threat briefing must contain effective strategies. • There must be a plan.
Levels of Situational Awareness Notice • Level One: Perceive • Level Two: Comprehension • Level Three: Projection Understand Think Ahead NUTA
Situation Awareness Threat Management Notice Understand Think Ahead Mitigate Trap Avoid The NUTA/TEM Links
Countermeasures • Anticipation builds vigilance. • Recognition leads to recovery. • Recover first, analyse causes later. • Planning. • Execution. • Review or modify.
Just because you deal with a situation everyday does not mean that it is not a threat.
