22 Being Predictive In A Reactive World
Being Predictive Can we be predictive ? Will it be successful in reducing risk ?
Safety Basics Safety = Risk Management * Eliminate risk * Reduce risk * Acknowledge risk
Managing Risk
Risk Management Risk = Probability X Severity Everything in life has risk Manage Risk by modifying P or S
The Key to Risk Management # 1 Identify Hazards
Being Efficient Want to reduce risk in the highest risk areas e.g. Prevent 1 accident in 10 years: good Prevent 10 accidents in 1 year: better
Fatalities by CAST/ICAO Common Taxonomy Team (CICTT) Aviation Occurrence Categories Fatal Accidents – Worldwide Commercial Jet Fleet – 2003 Through 2012
Reactive: Tending to react, characterized by reaction Proactive: Preparing for, intervening in, or controlling an expected occurrence or situation Predictive: Inference regarding a future event based on probability
The Spectrum of Safety Reactive Predictive Fly-crash-fix-fly Identify hazards as they appear in accidents Study past accidents and incidents to identify hazards and reduce risk Proactive Utilize data from incidents and normal operations to identify trends and reduce risk before an accident happens Single Accident Data Consolidated Accident/Incident Data Accident/Incident/Operational Data Data Availability/Utilization
Predicting We can easily predict 90% of next year’s accidents - There will be 1 or 2 upset aircraft - > 50% will be approach and landing - Half of those will be runway excursions - There will be at least 2 Jet and 4 Turboprop CFIT accidents
“Black swan” events Predicting - TWA QF-32 - BA-038
Being Predictive Can we be predictive ?
Being Predictive Can we be predictive ? YES
Fatalities by CAST/ICAO Common Taxonomy Team (CICTT) Aviation Occurrence Categories Fatal Accidents – Worldwide Commercial Jet Fleet – 2003 Through 2012
Safety Fatality Data - Circa 1992 Collision with terrain Approach and landing ATC systems Maintenance Loss of control Postcrash survival Inflight fire/smoke Engine failures Airport ground control Nonconfiguration takeoffs Windshear Deicing/anti-icing Rejected takeoff
Can detect trends and future hazards Trending * Systems * Locations * Procedures
ASAP and FOQA Analysis of OAK Arrivals Receiving TAWS Alerts
TCAS Hotspot Snap Shot
Being Predictive Will it be successful in reducing risk ?
Predictive Challenge - Being able to get the support of the decision makers
Keys to Predictive Success 2. Decision maker support 1. Data to make the risk management case
A Change of Paradigm Outcome Based Event Based Keys to Predictive Success
The Spectrum of Safety Reactive Predictive Fly-crash-fix-fly Identify hazards as they appear in accidents Study past accidents and incidents to identify hazards and reduce risk Proactive Utilize data from incidents and normal operations to identify trends and reduce risk before an accident happens Single Accident Data Consolidated Accident/Incident Data Accident/Incident/Operational Data Data Availability/Utilization Negative Outcome Negative Outcome(s) Events

Aviation Safety 2013 Commercial jets on pace for another great year Business jets having a better than average year Turboprops are having an average year CFIT in both commercial jets and in commercial turboprops has returned as the leading killer We now have the capability to be predictive in our safety efforts – but is the system ready to take advantage of this capability ?
