Gulf of Mexico Accident Analysis
  • FAA and Industry analysis of accidents
  • Goal To reduce the number of off-shore
    helicopter accidents in the Gulf of Mexico
  • Analysis 1999-2004
  • Objective -- to determine the root causes and
    behavior that led to an off-shore accident
  • Behavior Categories
  • Careless mistakes
  • Reckless acts
  • Intentional acts
  • Undetermined
  • Qualification

Next Steps
  • Collaborate with the helicopter industry to
    develop and implement accident prevention
    strategies based on system safety principles.

General Aviation Joint Steering Committee

Background
  • Formed in 1998 to lead the U.S. GA accident
    reduction effort
  • Comprised of FAA and industry participants
  • Made recommendations concerning weather,
    controlled flight into terrain (CFIT),
    aeronautical decision making and runway safety

9
Current Initiatives
  • Implementing original JSC interventions regarding
    weather, CFIT and aeronautical decision making
  • Identifying specific new interventions by
    addressing major causes of accidents
  • Focus is on non-regulatory interventions
  • Interventions include both government and private
    sector initiatives

10
General Aviation Special Emphasis Programs
  • FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS)
  • Direct-to-Safety
  • Update the Safety Program
  • FAA Designee Program

11
FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS)
  • FITS is scenario-based training developed by the
    FAA, industry and academia to help pilots of
    technically advanced glass cockpit small
    airplanes master automated systems and, identify
    and mitigate operational risks.
  • Implement safety recommendations through the
    creation of FAA and industry training standards
  • Model-training syllabi for Technically Advanced
    Aircraft (TAA) transition

12
Direct-to-Safety
  • A web-based database to help pilots and flight
    instructors acquire information about general
    aviation
  • Safety publications and products
  • Safety standards
  • Technical standards
  • Safety clinics and safety seminars

13
Update the Safety Program
  • Goal Reduce the number of General Aviation
    accidents
  • Objectives
  • Modernize the nationwide FAA Safety Program
    through education and cooperative efforts with
    industry
  • Implement a new national structure reporting to
    the Director of Flight Standards Service (AFS)
  • High AFS Budget Priority
  • Guided by an Executive National Oversight Council
  • Direct links to national, regional and local AFS
    field offices
  • Incorporate System Safety Principles
  • Safety Representatives with specific in-depth
    experience partnering with industry groups

14
FAA Designee Programs
  • The FAA uses 13,400 well-qualified industry
    people to leverage its safety resources
  • These people are referred to as Designees
  • Some conduct pilot flight tests, while others
    conduct medical certification examinations or
    aircraft certification activities
  • The FAA is conducting a review of its Designee
    Programs in an attempt to improve its quality and
    efficiency

15
Information Broadcast to GA Aircraft
16
Automatic Broadcast of Traffic and Flight
Information to Small Aircraft
  • A surveillance system that continuously
    broadcasts information to all small aircraft and
    air traffic control (ATC) facilities (ADS-B and
    FIS-B)
  • Objective to improve situational awareness for
    pilots and provide controllers with a more
    complete picture of traffic
  • Air Traffic information (ADS-B)
  • Weather displays for GA aircraft (FIS-B)
  • Real-time NEXRAD radar, weather reports and
    forecasts, wind-shear alerts, SIGMETS and AIRMETS
  • Temporary Flight Restrictions, NOTAMS
