Why Do We Need To Report Occurrences?
Everyone in the Defence Aviation Community (DAC) is taught
the importance of reporting Air Safety
occurrences and the vast majority do so quickly and accurately. Reporting Occurrences and Hazard
Observations enables action to be taken to prevent recurrence, or more importantly, to anticipate and
prevent other, potentially more serious outcomes, both locally and across Defence, thereby reducing Risk to
Life (RtL). Reporting and resolving observed or perceived hazards will make working in Defence Aviation
safer, preserve capability and can also improve work life quality.
So what should be reported?
The answer is fairly simple, anything with an Air
Safety implication. If in doubt, report
it.
