2 CONTENTS Ryanair Company Overview Ryanair Key Operational Risk Areas (KORAs) Runway Incursion / Excursion Statistics Ryanair s Safety Net RAAS What is RAAS & Why we selected it RAAS Implementation Simulator Trials Aircraft Testing Flight Crew Training Certification Challenges Experience and Results of RAAS 20/02/2018 2

3 Ryanair Company Overview Europe s #1 Airline Carrying over 129m customers p.a heading for 200m by daily flights with avg. LF 95% Fleet of B (x x3 LJ45) Massive aircraft orders 240 B737s to come 32 year industry leading safety record 20/02/2018 3

4 Key Operational Risk Areas (KORAs) SMS, Industry & Crew inputs Risk Assessment (Bowtie) 20/02/2018 4

5 Runway Incursion / Excursion Statistics 2 runway incursions every day in Europe. 30 runway excursion accidents per year. Estimated cost of excursions to industry over $1 billion. RWY Incursion events increasing in a statistically significant way. Excursions commonly result from: - RTO after V1 - Go-around not conducted - Touchdown long Leading cause? Pilot Deviations (55%) 20/02/2018 5

6 Mitigations Threat and Error Management (TEM) Briefing of the intended taxi route Runway entry SOPs Landing Gate VSD MOST ROBUST BARRIER 20/02/2018 6

7 Safety Net RAAS RAAS Runway Awareness and Advisory System Honeywell have developed the technology called Smartlanding & Smartrunway Offers improved situation awareness for the flight crew Helps reduce the probability of runway incursion incidents and accidents Delivers this through Aural and Visual messages to prompt flight crews during safety critical phases of operation (Taxi, T/O, App, Landing/Rollout) Stabilised Approach Monitor Linked to the PCP AF2.5.2 (Implement Aircraft and Vehicle Systems Contributing to Airport Safety Nets) Comparable to Airbus Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS) 20/02/2018 7

8 RAAS How it works? The Basics: RAAS delivers 4 categories of Aural Annunciations (Routine / Non Routine Advisories & Cautions) On ground In flight Stabilised Approach Monitor Non-Routine Advisories/Cautions > 40kts 20/02/2018 8

9 Ryanair RAAS Implementation 1. Simulator Trials (19/08/14) Two configurations extensively tested by line crew Simulator trials with multiple choice questionnaires Enhanced S/A Improved Safety 20/02/2018 9

10 Ryanair RAAS Implementation Aircraft Testing Aircraft trials conducted in cooperation with Honeywell (MKV & MKV-A EGPWS) at PIK to establish: Is system configuration appropriate? Every available scenario performed Can configuration be improved? Honeywell made rapid config change possible Are system anomalies present? Go no go fleetwide Are volume levels suitable? 20/02/

11 Ryanair RAAS Implementation Flight Crew Training & Certification EASA scrutiny for approved AFMS and STC. We are still under IAAs Trial Status Training material developed and delivered to pilots in January 2016 First RAAS equipped Ryanair revenue flight September 2016 Currently 361 Aircraft Equipped (85%) 20/02/

12 Ryanair Experience with RAAS Based on sectors. Not yet fully linked to OFDM so reported through internal ASR/CSR NOTE Take-off Flaps 12% is Due to winter operations conditions. There was no incident of Take-off without flaps 20/02/

13 Ryanair Challenges with RAAS During trials it was found that: Runway Idents change quite often EGPWS databases aren t updated as often as the AIRAC NOTAM impact can t be accounted for in DBs sue to temporary nature (3 months less) Ryanair propose, If not in TDZ, LONG LANDING is G/A otherwise continue 20/02/

14 Summary Ryanair Recognises Runway Excursion & Incursion as a safety issue RAAS is powerful tool to mitigate But it s a decision making aid, not a replacement of pilots We are engaging with EASA regarding Long landing issue (12/01/2018) They must recognise the risks involved in unnecessary Go Arounds Sam Mulhare mulhares@ryanair.com /02/
