Safety Risk Management Tools EVA Air’s Perspective & Implementation Presented by Danny Ho Safety & Security Div. EVA Air Corporation Aug 30, 2013 1 Philosophy on Safety Risk Management Predictive thinking, proactive implementation and reactive response. Comprehensive, effective, feasible and sustainable. Effective safety management requires the ability to have the right system to collect and analyze the right information at the right time. 2 Safety Risk Assessment of Flight Operation -Traditional Practice Real Time Monitoring (ACMS/AHM) + Post Flight Analysis (FDM/FOQA) 3 Real Time Monitoring: ACMS & AHM MCD FSD Post Flight Analysis 90 80 70 50 40 30 WGBBS Daily Trend Analysis Hazard Identification & Risk Management FDM/ Aerobytes (QAR) Flight Data Animation DFDR A/C Performance Analysis FDM/FOQA Event Review Event Review Meeting Flight Data Alert Event FDM Daily Report Statistics/Data base Detect Event Training Improvement & Procedure Modification Quarterly Report Annual Report Trend Analysis Report Beside the real time monitoring & post flight analysis, what miss on Safety Risk Assessment of Flight Operation ? Before the flight! 9 Comprehensive Safety Risk Assessment of the Flight Operation Before the flight FORAS During the flight ACMS/AHM After the flight FOQA/FDM 10 FORAS Flight Operations Risk Assessment System • FORAS is a system which designed to capture risk attributes on the areas of crew, aircraft functionality and sector threats, and allow risk mitigation efforts could be deployed before the flight. 11 Flight Operation Risk • • • • • • • • • Newly check out Captain and F/O flying together Fatigued crew with MRT Non precision approach or ILS out of service Strong cross wind Low visibility with rain or snow Thrust Reverser INOP RWY is not grooved with percipitation The complexity of approach procedure & runway configuration Operating crew never operating into this airport before … Project Background FORAS concept generated by ICARUS Committee Think Tank of FSF Sponsored by : NASA Prototype Developed by : Dr. Michael Hadjimichel FORAS Development EVA AIR & Dr. Michael Hadjimichel System Introduction • FORAS is a methodology for generating a risk model, which produces a relative, quantitative measurement of a specific risk exposure in flight operations. – Gather the weather information, crew experience, navigation aids, and aircraft’s status etc. • A decision support tool to measure and reduce risk exposure. – A decision aids for risk awareness, not a GO or NO GO decision tool. • Proactive, predictive approach to aviation safety. – Analyze operational risks and take the actions of relevant risk mitigation to ensure a safe operation. 14 2.

FORAS is playing a vital & predictive role on Safety Risk Management. 26 FORAS Promotion Program • Promote FORAS via a non commercial avenue • Airlines who are interesting to acquire FORAS shall donate certain amount of fund into FORAS Fund according to its fleet size. • Set up a FORAS Fund and manage it via a committee of trustees • The Fund will be utilized to set up FORAS Scholarship, FORAS Award and the future development of FORAS, and other aviation risk management initiatives. FORAS Promotion Program will be available on Q4 2013.
