2. Operating irregularities

IFR - IFR losses of separation IFR/IFR Losses of Separation Moving 12 Month Period July – June 2005/06 – 2009/10 14

IFR – IFR losses of separation Quarterly reports 15

ACC Operating Irregularities Moving 12 Month Period July – June 2006/07 – 2009/10 16

Tower Operating Irregularities Total Tower Operating Irregularities Moving 12 Month Period July – June 2006/07 – 2009/10 17

VFR operating irregularities • Increase in numbers and in severity • 3 critical and 5 moderate events since January 2010 • Initial trend indicate “traffic information” either not issued on a timely basis to assist in separation • In many cases when traffic issued, no reports of sighting • Pilots “seem” to operate under the understanding of IFR separation application • Pilots “seem” to hesitate to ask updates/questions on the issued traffic 18

Management measures • All General Managers to develop a mitigation strategy • Will convey VFR operational experts to a National workshop • Aviation Safety Letter will be published reference VFR traffic • Operations directive to all unit re “Traffic information” requirements • Explore VFR training methods which integrate the use of new technology in the VFR environment • Formulate communication stream through enhanced computer based training (CBT) • Increase awareness by facilitating “Hot Stove” meetings on a site by site basis 19

Other measures • Regular meetings with the flying training schools are taken place • Provided ATS seminar information on local procedures • Will approach Aviation organizations to explore further mitigations What else can be done………… 20
