Online Flight Risk Analysis Tool Aligns With Forthcoming FAA Regulations
Professional Resources In System Management, LLC (PRISM) has released enhanced features for its online Flight Risk Analysis Tool (FRAT) to align with the forthcoming FAA regulations for Helicopter Air Ambulance (HAA) Operators.
Among the new features are a method for documenting the highest obstacle along the planned route of flight, as well as a method for documenting whether another helicopter air ambulance operator has refused or rejected a flight request.
The tool also includes a method for documenting approval of the certificate holder’s management personnel to release a flight when a risk exceeds a level predetermined by the certificate holder; an e-signature function for the pilot in command to sign the preflight risk analysis worksheet and specify the date and time it was completed; and an e-signature function for the OCC to acknowledge in writing, specifying the date and time, that the preflight risk analysis worksheet has been accurately completed and that, according to their professional judgment, the flight can be conducted safely.
“We are very glad to be able to provide these valuable features as part of our integrated FRAT,” stated Chris Young, VP of Helicopter Aviation Services at PRISM. “Enabling operators to begin using this new format will help to facilitate compliance before the deadline as well as fine tune the tool to ensure functionality within the operation.”
