How will you mitigate the risk in your flight

department?

Flight Discipline

• Mentoring program

• Lead by example

• Professionalism training

• Normalized deviance

• Integrity of policies

Actual Runway Condition

• RCAM RwyCC

• Time of Arrival Assessment

• No or older report = be

conservative

What’s your factor?

• 15%, 25%, 67%?

• Preflight planning only?

Is the runway grooved?

• How can you tell from charts?

• Should this change planning,

briefings, or factors?

Keep an eye on the wind

• In Rapidly Changing Conditions

Reports Reality

• Frontal Passage

• Near Convective Activity

• Contaminated Runway Wind

Limitations
