Proactive Safety Initiatives- Video Presentation on Precautions During Monsoon Operations
Dear Sir,
Greetings from Aviation Safety Management Society of India (ASMSI).
ASMSI is an all India Registered, Not for Profit Society, with the objective of promotion of Safety of the entire spectrum of Aviation Activities in the Country. ASMSI is fortunate to have a large number of highly experienced, qualified and knowledgeable aviation professionals of repute as its Esteemed Members.
ASMSI is deeply concerned about the safety of Aviation Operations in the country and is taking proactive steps to complement the efforts and initiatives of DGCA to maintain high standards of safe flying environments.
The monsoon/Rainy Season, which is around the corner, is known to pose a number of hazards to flying and has been the cause of many weather-related accidents/incidents around the world.
Weather is the biggest enemy of the Pilots and has been responsible for a large number of serious accidents around the world.The unfortunate and very serious fatal accident, at Kozhikode Airport, is still fresh in our minds. Hence, it is essential that the Pilots have good knowledge about the various Weather phenomenon and its avoidance in an informed and responsible manner.
ASMSI has been working overtime to enhance Aviation Safety Standards in the Aviation Industry and has prepared a Video presentation on Precautions to be taken during Monsoon Flying. The Video Presentation (Attached) is aimed to create awareness among various stakeholders about the hazards associated with Monsoon Season and steps which can be taken to prevent any occurrences due to adverse weather conditions.
It is an acknowledged fact that Safety concerns all the stakeholders and everyone right from top to bottom has an important role to play. Hence, it is essential that CEOs, Accountable Executives/Managers, Head Operations, Safety, Training, Maintenance, Pilots, Safety Managers, Marketing Executives, Dispatch, Ops, Maintenance, and other supporting staff are fully involved to ensure Safety and Efficiency of the Operations.
Senior Management has a significant role to play in promoting Safety Culture in their respective organisations and they should be at the forefront to provide Safety assurance through sincere and serious implementations of Safety Management System in their organisation, keeping in mind the Monsoon related hazards. Operators should ensure high standards of Flying, Ground and Simulator Training, Support and Guidance to the Pilots to prepare them to face the challenges of flying during adverse weather conditions.
Flight following and close monitoring of the progress of the flights and weather developments should be ensured by the concerned officials. ATC, Met Department and Company Dispatch should be proactive, alert, vigilant, situationally aware and provide timely assistance, accurate and timely weather information and runway condition.
Sound Knowledge, Awareness, Professional Planning, Preparations, Adherence to SOPs, Rules, and Regulations by the Pilots and Supervision, Monitoring and full Involvement of Senior Management are Key to the Safety of Operations.
Let us all join hands to make sure that there are no flight safety-related occurrences during this Monsoon Season.
Knowledge and Awareness are Key to Safety.
