Report

Safety reporting your pilots will actually use

Anyone can report a hazard or near miss, by name or anonymously. Reports are confidential: only your safety managers and accountable executive see them all, and AvioArc staff cannot.

Safety reports
  • Gusty crosswind on short final, runway 27
    Near miss · anonymous
    New
  • Fuel quality concern at an outstation
    Hazard · named
    Investigating
  • Checklist confusion after avionics update

    Actioned

Synthetic example data. Reports are confidential to your safety managers.

Assess

Flight risk assessments before every trip

A short scored questionnaire for each flight. A high score needs a safety manager's approval before it goes, and every assessment is kept.

Low risk: the pilot can go, and the assessment is kept as a record.

Synthetic example with the starter assessment's scoring. You set your own questions and thresholds.

Assure

Indicators, targets and management review

Set indicators and targets, track them monthly, and review them with your accountable executive. With flight data, they are measured, not self-reported.

Measure

Flight data turns your SMS into evidence

Flagged events, stabilized-approach checks and trends feed the same system. Follow-ups become corrective actions, and the event rate is checked before and after each one.

Event review queue
  • High descent rate
    Flight 2 · Approach · threshold −1,000 fpm
    −1,450 fpm
    Awaiting review
  • High bank angle

    38°
    Awaiting review
  • Go-around
