38 Part 125/135 (ARC) Recommendations ARC made 167 recommendations to update part 125/135. Many of the Part 125 recommendations require rulemaking, but focus is on complying with HR FAA is exploring non-regulatory approaches to implementing some of the recommendations. 38

39 EASA Issues EASA issued a Notice of Proposed Amendment to require: Non-EU operators with aircraft based in the EU to register their aircraft. Pilots of those aircraft to obtain an EASA license. Non-EU commercial operators to obtain an operator certificate from EASA. Non-commercial operators to provide a declaration to EASA verifying that they comply with their country s pilot and aircraft certification requirements. 39

40 LOA/RVSM and Related Authorizations The LOA/RVSM working group has been looking for ways to reduce the paperwork and administrative burden on GA operators. The working group continues to explore options and should provide recommendations later this year. 40

41 Partnership for Safety John McGraw Deputy Director, Flight Standards Service Coby Johnson Manager, Operations Branch, Flight Technologies & Procedures John Duncan Manager, Air Transportation Division Mel Cintron Manager, General Aviation and Commercial Division Bob Tarter Vice President for Safety, Air Traffic Organization 41

42 Creation of Partnership for Safety 1 July 2010 FAA Administrator, PASS and NATCA Presidents introduced the Partnership for Safety GOAL: Identify safety issues before an incident or accident occurs 42

43 Partnership for Safety A collaborative, proactive effort to identify and mitigate safety concerns Two pronged approach (internal & external) Joint Management and Labor Risk Identification FAA facilities discuss safety concerns, then each management & labor team enters them into MITRE database for evaluation and prioritization Partnership for Safety Symposium, Aug. 17, 2010 First in a series of meetings to focus on solutions Senior delegates from industry, government and labor 43

44 External: August 17 Symposium Representatives from NATCA, PASS, FAA, the Aviation Industry, Pilot Unions, NTSB, Congress and other critical stakeholders Similar to Call to Action on Runway Safety Workgroups focused on ways to improve Operational Communications 44

45 Ideas from Breakout Sessions Hear-back/Read-back Focused on communication breakdowns between controllers and pilots Standard Phraseology Focused on communication errors that occur as a result of using nonstandard phraseology Similar Sounding Call Signs Similar sounding call signs have been a contributing factor to controllers misidentifying aircraft and pilots accepting clearances intended for other aircraft. This session explored what can be done to help prevent these errors. Sharing of Critical Information Serious errors can occur when transfer of critical information is impeded or non-existent and assumed. This session examined why these errors occur and develop solutions for addressing communication breakdowns. 45

46 What Controllers are Doing Awareness Campaigns i.e. Good practices for radio discipline Training Enhancements i.e. Make early runway assignments and minimize last minute changes for pilots to reduce confusion & info overload during taxi or on approach Visits to Flight Simulators United and US Airways 46
