Transition to Risk Based Safety Assurance

• Need for a sensible representation of risk


• Need to look for “small signals”
• Wish to use (much) more data from operation

Runway Overrun Risk
• First attempt at “filling in” all bow tie elements
• We need “something” for:
– Flight Crew Planning
– Landing Manoeuvre
– Touchdown Location
– Touchdown Speed
– Remaining Stopping Distance
– EGPWS intervention rates
simple
– Go-Around Rates
– Etc. etc.
• For all flights!

Safety Performance Indicators
• Flight Crew Planning
– QRH CLD versus LDA

• Touchdown Location/Consumed Safety Margin


– With respect to threshold and LDA

• Touchdown Speed
– With respect to VREF

• Landing Manoeuvre
– QRH CLD for actual TD location/speed versus LDA

• Remaining Stopping Distance


– 60 kts GS Location + Max. Manual Braking

• Criticality categories HIGH MED LOW

Safety Intelligence Consolidation
Questions to be answered:
• What are the correlations between the criticalities
(Which situations eventually may lead to overruns)
• How to connect the overrun SPI’s to the barriers in the
Landing Performance Bowtie
• Which parameters, trends and/or abrupt changes in
trends determine the barrier performance
• In case of (abrupt changes in) trend: Which barriers in
the bowtie are playing a role
• In which barriers do we invest our $$$ to improve
safety (In order of effectiveness)
• Each barrier has an owner within KLM who is
responsible for corrective action

Runway Conditions
The following speed averaged aircraft braking actions
are used (Boeing methodology)

• Dry runway -> Type dependent µ ≈ 0.38 – 0.43


• Braking Action GOOD (wet runway) µ = 0.2
• Braking Action MEDIUM µ = 0.1
• Braking Action POOR µ = 0.05
