  17. Total Tower Operating IrregularitiesMoving 12 Month PeriodJuly – June2006/07 – 2009/10 Tower Operating Irregularities

  18. VFR operating irregularities • Increase in numbers and in severity • 3 critical and 5 moderate events since January 2010 • Initial trend indicate “traffic information” either not issued or not issued on a timely basis to assist in separation • In many cases when traffic issued, no reports of sighting • Pilots “seem” to operate under the understanding of IFR separation application • Pilots “seem” to hesitate to ask updates/questions on the issued traffic

  19. Management measures • All General Managers to develop a mitigation strategy • Will convey VFR operational experts to a National workshop • Aviation Safety Letter will be published reference VFR traffic • Operations directive to all unit re “Traffic information” requirements • Explore VFR training methods which integrate the use of new technology in the VFR environment • Formulate communication stream through enhanced computer based training (CBT) • Increase awareness by facilitating “Hot Stove” meetings on a site by site basis

  20. Other measures • Regular meetings with the flying training schools are taken place • Provided ATS seminar information on local procedures • Will approach Aviation organizations to explore further mitigations • What else can be done…………
