The consequences of awaited withdrawal of UNMIL. (local population less friendly, funds restrictions)5. Criminal situation.(On the 5th and 10th of March 2010 two Armed robberies occurred at 16th Street, Sinkor, at almost the same time (2100hrs) with one fatality and one injury. In both cases the armed suspects targeted foreign nationals walking down the street. In both cases suspects used a motorcycle and a cutlass to inflict injuries to their victims. The suspects wore dark shirts and were about 20-25 years old)

14. The Basic Philosophy of Ensuring of Aviation Safety The approach to ensuring of aviation safety is based on the philosophy that it is irresponsible and wasteful to wait for an accident to happen, then figuring out how to prevent it from happening again. We manage risk to make our chances of success as great as possible, while making our chances of failure, injury or loss as small as possible. It is a common sense approach to balancing the risks against the benefits to be gained in a situation and then choosing the most effective course of action.

15. The goal of Aviation Safety Unit To prevent aircraft accidents and thereby preserve life and property of UN staff as well as others who may have been placed in the Organization`s care. This goal shall be perused through a combination of comprehensive practices for aeronautical operations, and an effective Aviation Accident Prevention Program.

16. Using both reactive and proactive elements, safety management activities should be proactive with the trend to become predictive, which means that accidents and incidents must be prevented by mitigating of any unsafe conditions, operations and procedures in order to reduce the risks to as low as reasonably practicable.

17. Principles of Aviation Operational Risk Management (ORM): • Do not accept unnecessary Risk • Accept risk only when the benefits outweigh worst possible outcome • Make risk decisions at the appropriate level • ORM process is fully integrated at all levels of Planning and Execution

19. In UN operation the most restrictive policy is applied. The restrictions are ongoing from: National Regulations of Operator. ICAO Regulations. UN Regulations. Mission Regulations. Hosting Country Regulations.

20. What is Safety? In aviation the complete elimination of incidents and accidents is unachievable. Failures will occur, in spite of the most accomplished prevention efforts. So, control of risks and control of errors are acceptable in an inherently safe system. For this fundamental reason, ICAO defines safety as the state in which the risk of harm to persons or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management.

21. What are hazard and risk? Hazard– condition or object with the potential of causing injuries to personnel, damage to equipment or structures, loss of material, or reduction of ability to perform a prescribed function. Risk– the assessment, expressed in terms of predicted probability and severity, of the consequence(s) of a hazard affecting an air asset, taking as reference the worst possible situation. Probability– the likelihood that an unsafe event, or condition might occur. Severity– the possible effects of an unsafe event or condition, taking as reference the worst possible situation.

22. Reporting System Sound safety management and effective accident prevention is based on a full, accurate and timely reporting system of all occurrences and hazards, followed by a timely investigation of the incident, a dissemination of the recommendations and required actions to all involved. This is a basic requirement that places a great responsibility on the safety of the organization at all levels. Observed Hazard Report In general, people are the most important aspect in the process of identifying, reporting and controlling hazards. The Observed Hazard Report (OHR) is a tool that allows all UN personnel to report hazards to the appropriate areas as soon as they become aware of them, therefore contributing to the general safety level of the Organization

39. Example of Subject To be Reported Unruly Passengers Are the Passengers Behaving in The Following Manner: • Physical assault, verbal abuse or sexual harassment. • Behaving recklessly or negligently in a manner likely to endanger aircraft or an occupant. • Smoking in any compartment where smoking is prohibited. • Disobeying lawful commands from the commander of the aircraft. • Behaviour which is violent, argumentative, threatening, intimidating or disorderly, including harassment. All unruly passengers shall be denied boarding any UNMIL aircraft and shall be reported immediately to Aviation Safety Unit.

40. All staff should provide in-time reporting about all flights, meteorological conditions and security situation to Air Operations Duty Officer, to Meteorological officer and to Flight Following Officers. • All staff should immediately report to Aviation Safety Unit any observed hazards, unsafe practices and procedures and about any occurrences connected with operation of UNMIL Aviation.

41. All staff should provide in-time reporting about all flights, meteorological conditions and security situation to Air Operations Duty Officer, to Meteorological officer and to Flight Following Officers. • All staff should immediately report to Aviation Safety Unit any observed hazards, unsafe practices and procedures and about any occurrences connected with operation of UNMIL Aviation. • Uniformed staff operating under the LOA should never forget that they are under the command of DCOO (military), Air Ops Officer and must report about all hazards, security issues and incidents to him as well. The situation when military Air Ops officer is the last person to know about any hazards and occurrences is unacceptable.

42. Vehicle approaching the aircraft • Do not move without crew permission. • Maximum speed – 15km/h. • Stop no closer to aircraft than 3 m except when required for loading/unloading or serving aircraft. • Follow instructions of load master/crew member whilst loading/offloading. • After stopping – use wheel chocks • Do not pass under any part of an aircraft • Driving at the airport can be dangerous

43. Examples of Unacceptable Work

44. Parking of vehicles • Use designated parking zones (whenever possible) • Don’t park where it will cause an obstruction. • Never obstruct the path of a fuel service truck (they must be able to drive away without obstruction in case of fire)

46. Transportation of Personnel • ALO has to check-in the passengers using the manifests prepared by the MOVCON Booking Office and to assemble them for the pre-boarding safety briefing. • When transporting passengers, the ALO loading staff should ensure that : • Passengers are properly briefed, cell phones switched-off, caps/beret off • They are grouped together and position in a secure safe place, • They face away from the helicopter during take-off and landing, • They are grouped in pairs, and ready to board in turn when the pilot gives the boarding signs, • Passengers with ammunition are made to clear their weapons before boarding.

47. Crew Pre-Flight Safety Briefing Should Include, But Not Be Limited To: The crew will carry out a pre-departure briefing to the passengers on the following items which enhance air safety: a) Emergency equipment on board the aircraft. b) Position and number of Emergency Exits. c) In-flight safety procedures. d) Location and demonstration on the use of life jackets. e) Use of seat belts and safety harness. f) Procedures to be followed during normal and emergency embarking and disembarking. g) Strict adherence to no-smoking on board aircraft. h) Cell phones must be off during all stages of flight.
