Updated Version Of The Associations Online Safety Management
Tool
NATA says it has launched version 2.0 of RA Check, an online
tool which combines a highly comprehensive FAA -endorsed Risk
Assessment Tool with the automation necessary to make its use
quick, easy, and accurate. Since its inception last year, RA Check
has fulfilled a vital role in safety management programs with the
perfect combination of sound safety risk assessment methodology and
convenient automation features. Safety and compliance tools such as
RA Check are greatly improving the business balance between safety
and productivity.
"So far, more than 100 companies have utilized RA Check to make
over 300,000 automated safety checks, and today this tool becomes
even more convenient and accommodating with its second major
release," said NATA Director of Technology Initiatives David
Vernon.
RA Check can now be used as a stand-alone tool without
integrating with Computing Technologies for Aviation's Flight
Operating System (FOS). It is now possible to customize criteria
settings - operators can set parameters to their own specifications
and even eliminate and add criteria as necessary.
The key benefits of RA Check include:
- Automates the criteria of the Turbine Aircraft Operators
Subgroup (TAOS) Flight Risk Assessment Tool formula and returns an
Online response.
- Can still integrate with CTAs (FOS) limiting manual data
entry.
- Automatic and user-generated email alerts for risk assessment
reports and risk factor questionnaires that may be viewed and
addressed on your Smart Phone.
- Raises situational awareness by focusing only on factors that
pertain to each particular flight.
- Alerts crewmembers to proactive safety measures for a
particular flight.
- Reduces training time, standardizes results and removes
subjectivity.
- Sets realistic operational thresholds.
- Takes the most comprehensive Risk Assessment methodology and
makes it as easy to implement as the most basic of models.
Jet Aviation, based in Teterboro, New Jersey, is a user of the
system. "Risk assessment is not new to our operation, but RA
Check's automation makes it a good fit for us," said Jet Aviation
Vice President of Flight Logistics Matt Feinstein. "The RA Check
interface is easy, web-based, and integrated with our scheduling
system, three factors that have led to quick acceptance by
crewmembers and other employees who use the system."
