VR FleetCare’s Post

There’s been an interesting debate going on around this post and this was my take; ‘……the problem with what you argue isn’t aligned with the real world. I know of many organisations (and have worked for them as a pilot/SM/QM) that have fully adopted standards such as ISARPS/ISO etc and have well aligned and fully developed procedures that are well implemented. Yet incidents/accidents/near misses/non conformities/non compliance happen quite regularly and we realise that no matter how well developed and implemented the compliance instrument is, it rarely copes with the complexities of a modern, dynamic aviation operation by itself. In fact the main reason we don’t have more of these issues highlighted is because of the flexibility and adaptability that the humans bring to the operation I.e, resilience which sees 99% go right on a daily basis, the provide the real ‘meat’ on the bones or compliance but sometimes it goes wrong. Again, I state clearly, I believe that good standards and procedures and any other requirements are completely essential and have their place in the safety/quality mix but they cannot be considered in isolation or standalone and must always be referenced to complexity and systems thinking - this is what I teach on the 4 courses I deliver on a regular basis.’ What are everyone else’s thoughts? Binary would be ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ - I think my view is neither but is ‘balanced’ Guy Malpas Clive Lloyd Gareth Lock Adam Johns

Worth gold is integrity and selfless action.

OTD in 2018 A TCM Rescuer fell from 50 ft into the sea when commencing night hoist currency training when there was a failure to connect the hoist hook to their harness. We look at the safety investigation recommendations. https://lnkd.in/dzYCSKNS #sar #searchandrescue #helicopter #hoisting #training #accident #humanfactors #flightsafety #aviationsafety

We are proud to share that AMST’s expertise is featured in the latest edition of AirMed & Rescue Magazine. The article highlights innovative solutions for training rescue crews in high-stress, mission-critical situations and provides an outlook on the Helicopter Rescue Hoist Trainer (RHT) AMST is building for Bristow Group. This state-of-the-art solution will be part of Bristow's new training center, expected to open next year at Lee-on-the-Solent in southern England. #SAR #Helicopter #Hoisting #Winching

🚨 Did you know that being a Ramp Agent is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in the aviation industry? 🚨 Ramp agents face several inherent risks and hazards daily, including working in close proximity to moving aircraft and vehicles, exposure to extreme weather conditions, handling heavy loads in challenging workspaces, and dealing with high noise levels. Despite these challenges, ramp agents are vital in ensuring safe and efficient ground operations. Their dedication and hard work help keep our skies safe and flights on time. ✈️💪 Let's appreciate the important work they do and continue to support efforts that enhance their safety on the ground. 🙌 #AviationSafety #RampSafety #GroundHandling #AviationIndustry #RampAgents #AviationHeroes #SafetyFirst #AviationProfessionals #GSEExpoEurope #GroundSupportEquipment #AviationInnovation #IndustryLeaders #RamperInnovations #AirportTech #Lisbon2024 #AviationNerdsUnite #AviationSafety #GroundHandling #RampSafety #TISABAS #EfficiencyInAviation #RampAgents #AirportOperations #Innovation #Aviation #AviationTechnology #Safety #efficiencyboost

Hello everyone, Today, I won't talk about technical or human factor issues. I just want to talk about the happiness our work brings us and what it leads to. Aircraft maintenance engineers like myself especially rejoice as if they've scored a last-minute goal in the World Cup final when they solve a challenging and difficult fault. Sometimes they don't show it, but their hearts are filled with joy. Sometimes, they celebrate with tea or coffee. What I've described is the happiness on our side, the ones doing the job and approving flights. But what about those we make happy?! Our colleagues, team leaders, our own MCC, our managers, the MCC of the company we serve, the company itself, cabin and cockpit crew, operations officers, ground handling staff, thousands of people waiting for their cargo thousands of kilometers away, and our valued passengers. In fact, the root cause of what makes us happy is the awareness of making so many people happy, both those I've listed and those I haven't. The other reason is seeing that what we do with procedures, our experience, and our team works when everyone wonders how this flying machine is flying. I wish all my colleagues many happy days where AOG faults are solved in your hands and we remove plenty of INOP placards. Regards 🌍✈️🛠️☺️ #aircraftmechanic #aircraftengineer #aircraftmaintenance #airbus #boeing #engineering #happiness

Aircraft Marshaller: The Airport's Unsung Hero🛑🛩 An aircraft marshaller is a crucial part of aircraft ground handling, responsible for safely and efficiently directing aircraft on the ground. 💎 Marshaller responsibilities include: 🔹️Directing aircraft: Guiding aircraft to their designated gates, parking areas, or maintenance bays. 🔹️Coordinating ground operations: Ensuring that ground crews, such as baggage handlers, caterers, and fuelers, have access to the aircraft at the appropriate time. 🔹️Ensuring safety: Preventing collisions between aircraft or with other airport infrastructure. 🔹️Communicating with pilots: Using visual and radio to communicate with pilots and provide them with instructions. However, the increasing adoption of aircraft auto-parking systems is gradually reducing the need for marshals in some areas.

where are the 3rd shift jobs in aircraft

Eliale Dantas, you had the privilege of performing all tasks related to marshalling during United's first flight arrival in Brazil. What a well-done job. !!! **Aircraft marshalling** is a critical aspect of ground handling in aviation. It involves visual communication between ground personnel (marshals) and pilots to guide aircraft. Here's a breakdown of what it entails: ### What is Aircraft Marshalling? - **Visual Signalling**: Marshals use hand signals, marshalling wands, or even follow-me vehicles to guide pilots during taxiing, parking, and other ground movements. - **Communication**: It serves as an alternative or supplement to radio communication, especially in noisy environments or when quick, clear instructions are needed. ### Key Responsibilities - **Guiding Aircraft**: Marshals direct aircraft to their parking stands or runways, ensuring safe and efficient movements. - **Safety Checks**: They perform pre-flight checks, inspect for foreign object debris (FOD), and ensure the aircraft is properly fueled and secured. - **Emergency Procedures**: In case of emergencies, marshals provide crucial guidance to pilots for safe handling and evacuation. ### Importance of Marshalling - **Safety**: Proper marshalling ensures that aircraft movements are conducted safely, reducing the risk of accidents. - **Efficiency**: It helps in the smooth and timely turnaround of aircraft. - **Compliance**: Marshalling ensures adherence to airport regulations and safety protocols, contributing to overall operational efficiency. By maintaining these practices, marshals play an essential role in the safety and efficiency of aviation operations. #aircraftmarshalling #aviationmaintenance #safety ##security #unitedbrazil #elialedantas #orlandovasconcelos #airportoperations #aircraftmechanic #infraerobrasil #gratitudejournalism #linkedin
