Technical Program Evaluation and Co-ordination
The following document is available in Microsoft Office Power Point format and can be viewed with Microsoft Office Power Point or a Microsoft Office Power Point Viewer. [ PowerPoint, 1.9 MB]
Slide 1
Safe Float Flying
Plan your Way Out Before You Plan Your Way In!
Slide 2
As opposed To:
Unsafe Float Flying
Slide 3
MOST COMMON OCCURENCES BY PHASE OF FLIGHT (T/O CRUISE)
34%
-
Loss of Control
-
Engine Failure
-
Stalls
-
Collision with submerged obstacles
-
Fuel (mismanagement, contamination)
-
Improper load
-
c of g out / overloaded external loads
- *-poor selection of t/o & landing areas (too short)
-
Slide 4
MOST COMMON OCCURENCES BY PHASE OF FLIGHT (ENROUTE)
23%
-
C.F.I.T.
-
Controlled flight into terrain
-
collisions with obstructions towers etc.
-
-
Loss of Situational -awareness:
-
usually caused by deteriorating wx
-
insufficient wx brfg.
-
Unfamiliar with local geography
-
Slide 5
MOST COMMON OCCURENCES BY PHASE (LANDGS &APPRCH) 34%
34%
-
Stalls
-
Dragged wing tips (cartwheel)
-
Nose over
-
Hard landings
-
Wheels down on landing
-
Landing & t/o areas too short rough wind & water cond.’s
-
Glassy water
-
improper landing attitude
Slide 6
HARD LANDINGS
Slide 7
Amphibian Landing
Slide 8
COMMON OCCURENCES TAXIING PRE-FLT & POST FLT
15%
-
Collision with submerged obstacles
-
Loss of control while taxiing
-
Manouvering area not checked
-
Rough water strong cross winds
Slide 9
CHECK YOUR MANOUVERING AREA
- ENSURE THAT TAKE OFF & DEPARTURE PATHS ARE FREE FROM OBSTRUCTIONS
PLAN YOUR WAY OUT BEFORE YOUR WAY IN!!!
- About 50% of the accidents reviewed could have been prevented if the manouvering area had been checked prior to TO or landing
Two Separate Issues
Technical Issues
FUEL MANAGEMENT
AIRCRAFT LOADING
Be Weather Wise
C.F.I.T.
CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN
-
Concentrate on flying the aircraft when in marginal wx. Or when in high traffic areas.
-
Keep communications brief & to the point. Eliminate all unnecessary conversation.
-
Be & stay aware of your situation, and surrounding geography
GLASSY WATER
TAXIING & MANOUVERING
-
Use shorelines & other natural “windbreaks” to turn aircraft.
-
Clients & pax should be advised that they may have to move to where they can be picked up
Human Factors Issues
Situations and Behaviour
Error Producing Situations
-
When you stop thinking in terms of hazards, and how to minimize risk, you will become complacent.
-
When you stop looking for information in a systematic, active manner, you will miss things.
