Download Now - PFRAT: The Mobile App for Preventing Aircraft Accidents! When implementing a Safety Management System (SMS), one of the most critical components to develop is a Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT). Because every flight has some level of risk, it is critical that pilots and operators are able to differentiate, in advance, between a low risk flight and a high risk flight, establish a review process and develop risk mitigation strategies. Personal Flight Risk Assessment Tool enables proactive hazard identification, is easy to use, and can visually depict risk. It is an invaluable tool in helping pilots, operators and passengers make better go/no-go decisions and should be a part of every flight. In several countries, use of a company provided risk assessment tool is not mandated by the regulator and hence not implemented by the operators! There are also several smaller operators who are not covered under this FAA requirement and hence not required to implement a FRAT. The pilots in such operations are often operating flights with very limited or no support/supervision and from remote airfields/helipads. They are therefore in a high risk environment and more susceptible to an error of decision. Further, they are often under pressure to undertake flights and find it difficult to explain their reasons for denial to their bosses or clients who might have limited or no aviation expertise! The Erring Human® presents a unique solution to this problem. PFRAT helps those operating in such high risk environments and yet want to be able to assess and control their risks. This application helps the pilots evaluate their risks in a scientific, coherent and data-driven manner and also explain their decision to fly, or refusal thereof, to their managers/clients, even when they lack sufficient aeronautical decision making expertise! This is an invaluable tool for risk mitigation and accident prevention. Fully Customizeable App. This is a fully user customizeable app. PFRAT Left menu includes a range of customization and interaction options. Users can add a profile picture and three additional email ids to share a RA with; Hide questions which might not be relevant to their operation; Add new questions with custom risk score; Change the trigger values at which a Red/Amber/Green light is displayed and its associated message. With these customizations, PFRAT can be tailored to meet the needs of any nature of Aviation Operation, with any aircraft, any mission type and any level of Pilot experience! For advanced users, a customized app can be delivered based on any operators requirements, specifically customized to the users hazard/risk register, aircraft type and pilot qualification/experience levels.

PFRAT - The Mobile App to prevent Aircraft Accidents! The Erring Human® presents PFRAT - The Mobile App to Prevent Aircraft Accidents! An analysis of most human error accidents shows that they were avoidable if only the risks involved had been adequately evaluated. Most humans understand individual risks, but very few are able to understand the cumulative effect when several risk factors are present simultaneously. While there are several Risk Assessment tools available, they are all based on MS Excel or similar applications and require a computer to complete them. However, there are very few pilots and aviation sector workers, who can use their computers in the field, on airport platforms or heliports, especially in general aviation, airport operations and helicopter operations. Even if they have a laptop, they are often limited by space, Internet connectivity or other such limitations. The Erring Human® now presents an innovative solution: This application, called PFRAT (Personal Flight Risk Assessment Tool) will allow any aviation worker to carry out a risk assessment (RA), without an internet connection, on their mobile phone, in less than 10 minutes, and receive an evaluation of how the cumulative effect of risk factors is likely to impact the flight. The RA will be saved locally and emailed to the registered user when the device connects to a Wi-Fi network or other mobile network. The fixed wing risk assessment used in this application is as recommended by the FAA in AC 120-92 and InFO 07015. For helicopters, RA is as recommended by the Helicopter Association International (HAI). Each RA has 34 questions in 5 categories. The application has additional features to publish the RA in the social network, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google Plus and also send a copy by email to other company officials, such as Director of Operations, etc. This is a fully user customizable app. The users have the option to hide any, or all, of the pre-loaded questions and to replace them with their own questions specific to their type of operation or company hazard/risk register. Even the trigger values at which the users are displayed a Green, Amber or Red light, and the messages associated with it, can be user customized.  After all, ICAO defines safety as ‘... a continuous process of Hazard Identification and Risk Mitigation’. I hope that you will try this app and also leave us a review and rating on the Play/App store. Stay Safe, The Erring Human®
