and flight technical assessments |
Safety management and the organisational aspects thereof are
clearly very important with respect to the actual safety performance.
Nevertheless, one should be aware that the final step in the
safety chain concerns the actual flight operation: that is where
all concerted safety actions should result in the practical
achievement of a safe flight. For this reason it is essential
that new or modified systems and flight procedures are carefully
analysed concerning operational safety and flight technical
aspects, before being introduced. These analyses are captured
by the generic term “operational and flight technical
assessment”. Based on its operational and flight technical
expertise, NLR-NLR-ATSI has been involved in a broad range of such
assessments, varying from airport operations to air navigation
procedure design.
Example projects:
- Study into the safety and compatibility of mixed VFR/IFR
air traffic operations at Geneva airport.
- Assessment of aircraft operations in strong wind conditions.
- Aeronautical study for Zurich airport concerning take-off
RWY16, missed approach RWY14;
- Flight technical assessment for Reykjavik airport; and
- Collision risk for proposed RNAV/visual approach procedures
for Zurich airport.
More details and examples on this topic can be found in the Example
studies section.
