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.

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. Please contact us if you desire this
service.
