    The document discusses air traffic incident reports (ATIRs) and how they are used to report and investigate deviations from safety procedures in air traffic control. There are three types of ATIRs: proximity of aircraft, procedural inadequacy, and equipment malfunction. ATIRs dealing with proximity of aircraft are called AIRPROX reports, which are classified based on the level of risk. The document provides details on how and when ATIRs and AIRPROX reports should be filed.

    AIR TRAFFIC INCIDENT REPORT (ATIR)


    Any deviation from the standards of safety in the procedures used by pilots, ATCOs, and
    equipment used for the safe navigation of aircraft is a serious matter. The reliance on adherence
    to procedures underpins the philosophy of applying separation standards and both pilots and
    ATCOs must have faith in the standard applicability of the procedures. If any deviation becomes
    apparent, whether intentional or accidental, the incident must be investigated and a report raised .
    What might appear a trivial matter may if repeated too many times , become catastrophic in effect.
    ICAO has devised a system for reporting and investigating such occurrences . The system is
    known an Air Traffic Incident Report (ATIR). There are three types of ATIR :

    }> Proximity of Aircraft;


    }> Procedural inadequacy;
    }> Equipment malfunction .

    AIRPROX
    The ATIR dealing with proximity of aircraft (one aircraft getting too close to another) is called an
    AIRPROX report. After the report is 'filed ' a process of investigation starts which amongst other
    things, will determine the degree of risk involved. This will be classified as:

    }> Risk of collision;


    }> Safety not assured ;
    }> No risk of collision;
    }> Risk not determined.

    Filing an ATIR
    If the ATCO becomes aware of a breach of separation standard then an AIRPROX (Controller) is
    to be raised . If a pilot observes or becomes aware of an aircraft too close or cleared to or through
    the same level/altitude or to commence a manoeuvre that would cause proximity concern , then
    he/she is to raise an AIRPROX (Pilot) .

    ICAO has published a standard reporting form for AIRPROX (Pilot). When a pilot makes an
    AIRPROX report, an initial report is to be made by RTF to the ATCU providing control at that
    time . The form has shaded boxes for the information needed to be transmitted for the initial
    report. When the aircraft has landed, the pilot is to complete the form and file it either directly with
    the ATCU at the aerodrome of landing or through the Operator or the Operator's agent.
