Unclassified Response Directorate

National Staff • Program Managers

• Advises on policy to NEXCOM and

CHDIRAUX

• The Districts, their leaders, and the

Aviators in the AuxAir fleet are our

UNCLASSIFIED 2

Mission Statement

Provide the United States Coast Guard

and Coast Guard Auxiliary with a

Safe, Proficient, Effective and Efficient

Aviation Program.


National Program Goals

• SAFE

• PROFICIENT

• EFFECTIVE

• EFFICIENT

• SUPPORTIVE

UNCLASSIFIED 4

Safety Program Overview

• Auxiliary Aviation missions require the flight crew to understand they operate in an unforgiving environment.

• That understanding demands “Risk Management and Mitigation” as the flight crew uses best practices for information gathering, hazard recognition, decision making, flight proficiency and crew resource management techniques.


Training Goals

• Understanding of:

• ACN 030/18 - MAR 2018 PROMULGATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT

• Risk Management Policy (COMDTINST

3500.3A)

• Mishap Data: Identifying Trends, Hazards,

and Causes of Accidents

Directorate

Training Goals

– Identify 7 Types of Pilot Related Accidents

- Risk Assessment, Management and

Mitigation Processes

- I’M SAFE

- General Assessment of Risk (GAR) 2.0


Directorate

Training Goals

• Understanding of:

- PEACE Model

- STAAR Model

- Flight Training to Proficiency…not just

Currency

- FAA WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program

How Do We Achieve Our Goals

• Review and Adhere to Regulations and Policy Guidance… (FAA and USCG/USCG AUX)

• Expand and Improve Knowledge Base

• Recognition of Accident Trends and Hazards

• Risk Management and Mitigation

• Flight Training to Proficiency…not just to Currency

• Promote an Auxiliary Aviation Safety Culture

The Scary Reality..

• Most Mishaps occur during flight perceived as low threat or routine

• Departure, Arrival, In route to search area, etc.

Where Do We Start?

We start at the wreck…then work our way back to our safety goals.

Where Do We Start?

• At the Wreck!

Unclassified

• RM is a systematic and standardized process to identify, assess and mitigate hazard exposure and control risk.

• 5 Step Process: (1-3) Identify, Assess and Mitigate/Control Hazards (performed in advance of mission) and (4-5) Implement Mitigation Controls and Supervise/Evaluate for change during mission.

• RM is a continuous and dynamic process.

Risk Management (RM) Process

• Most significant change in new RM COMDTINST is to promote more “deliberate” RM

• “Deliberate” (steps 1-3) versus “Real Time” (steps 4-5) Risk Assessment

• Deliberate RM promotes more rapid mission response as crews have had time and opportunities to mitigate potential hazards

Back to the Future

• We study past accident reports and mishap trends with the hope of preventing future accidents and mishaps.

• “Bad News”… we keep seeing repeated patterns that cause general aviation accidents and mishaps.

• “Good News”…these repeated patterns give us a place to focus our RM efforts as we go forward.

Joseph T. Nall Report

• Gold Standard for Interpreting General Aviation Accident Statistics and Trends.

• Accidents versus Accident Rates (commonly expressed as accidents per 100,000 flight hours)

• Final versus Preliminary Statistics (takes about 3 years to obtain firm data from NTSB investigations)

Take Aways from the Data

• Pilot Related Accident Causes- 75%

• Mechanical Related Causes- 15%

• “Other” Related Causes- 10%

• 7 Types of Pilot Related Accidents

Addressing the Issues

Training Requirements

• FAA Biannual Flight Review (BFR)

• AUX Biannual Flight Check Review (alternate year between FAA BFR)

• Annual Safety Seminar

• Aux 14 C-School offered to DFSO and AirSta FSO

Addressing the Issues

• I’M SAFE

• PEACE Model

• STAAR Model

• GAR 2.0

• Voluntary Pilot Participation in FAA Wings Pilot Proficiency Program

General Assessment of Risk (GAR) 2.0

• The GAR 2.0 is a convenient tool to

capture deliberations of the PEACE and

STAAR elements, and integration of “Gain”

information to make “Warranted Risk”

decisions.

refer to handout GAR 2.0 for Aviation

GAR 2.0

• GAR 2.0 includes a Risk versus Gain matrix to support risk-based decision making.

• This matrix incorporates a new Three-Zone Scale and institutes a Gain Component to help identify risk exposure and potential benefits/gain of the mission in order to make sound decisions.

FAA Wings Pilot Proficiency

• The WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program is

based on the premise that pilots who

maintain currency and proficiency in the

basics of flight will enjoy a safer and more

stress-free flying experience.


• The objective of the WINGS Program is to

address the primary accident causal

factors that continue to plague the general

aviation community.

• By focusing on this objective, we hope to

reduce the number of accidents we see

each year for the same causes.


• A true proficiency program, designed to

help improve our skills and knowledge as

pilots.

• Ongoing targeted knowledge training

through seminars, online study, etc.

• Ongoing targeted flight activity with

dedicated tasks and maneuvers.

AuxAir Safety Culture

• Acknowledge we operate in an

unforgiving environment

• Facilitate Safety Culture Programs with

District Flight Safety Officers

• Encourage and provide a non-judgmental

environment for reporting and investigating

AuxAir safety issues and proficiency

through the DFSO.
