Reason for Review- CAP NHQ Focus on Safety Issues- PCR/CC Focus on Prevention- Everyone should want to make this “0”

-- Chiefly:Hangar RashBlown Aircraft Tires

Page 5: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

General Costs to CAP- Injuries or risk of injuries- Maintenance Fees- Time- Loss of Use

-- Missions-- Proficiency flying-- Orientation flights-- Etc.

- Loss of credibility- Poor professional image

The Facts

For FY 12 the Region has reported the following:

1 Blown tire on landing.1 Flat Spot found after landing.4 Hanger Rash.2 Flat Tires.4 Bird Strikes.4 Aircraft Damaged During Landings.

The Facts

Changes in the rules for reporting safety have led to an increase in the number of reported safetymishaps.

This does not necessarily mean that more mishapsoccurred, but rather more are the result of newreporting requirements.

More of the Facts

What can we take away from this?

Any lessons to be learned?

Existing Paradigm

Regarding Aircraft and Flight Operations

- Pilot gets CAPF 5 checkout- Pilot gets CAPF 91 checkout (missions)- Pilot gets Biennial FAA review- Pilots and ops get various inspections

SAV, SUI, CI, etc. - Initial and recurring ground handling video- Annual ORM, Monthly Safety, etc.

Caveat

Fortunately, we have many excellent pilots in This region and hangar-rash and blown tiresare infrequent.

However

Although infrequent, we must be vigilant to ensure they remain low-threat.

Hangar Rash

Wikipedia says it best…

Hangar rash is an aviation term that refers tominor incidents involving damage to aircraftthat typically originate due to improper groundhandling in and around a hangar, other aircraftor objects on the ground.

Page 15: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Most Frequent Causes“Hangar Rash” most often attributed to 1 or moreof the following:

- Sloppy Technique- Ignorance- Complacency- Arrogance- Fatigue

Even our best pilots are human and fall victimto these from time to time.

Page 16: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Most Frequent Causes

Accidents/incidents are to be expected, but ALLpilots should strive to be knowledgeable,proficient, alert, conscientious, etc. Give yourself“a check-up from the neck up.”

Remember to check egos at the door!

Page 17: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

PIC AND AIR CREWHangar Rash Possible Solutions

- All crew members and passengers should be briefed, present, and participating at extractions and insertions- When humanly possible, use of 3-5 people, minimum, to extract an aircraft from a hangar, or to insert an aircraft into a hangar.

1 – Nose gear2 – One for each wing tip2 – One for each strut (optional)

Page 18: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

PIC AND AIR CREWHangar Rash Solutions – cont.

- MSO, Assistant MSO, or Activity Safety Officer will be present at extraction or insertion whenever possible.- Pilots will get Hangar Rash warning during pre departure from the MSO, ASO, or FRO- FROs and MSOs will spend at least a few minutes on this subject before all flights- Light, laminated, “Hangar Rash Caution” placard to hang over yoke after all flights and stowed before all flights (recommended)

Page 19: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

PIC AND AIR CREWHangar Rash Solutions – cont.- Announce Hangar Rash warning at all times when announcing Sterile Cockpit times- Ensure guidelines for main, and left and right landing gear, painted on hangar floors and adjacent taxiways- Have fixed rear chocks anchored in hangars for the make/model of the aircraft that will be stored there.

Page 20: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Options for CommandersHangar Rash Solutions – cont.- Hangar door padding- Hangar door marking tape- Wingtip padding/foam covers with “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” streamers- Follow checklists on ground and in the air -- Even the best memories fail on occasion- Require CAPF 5 and 91 re-checks even if no incident when “attitude” issues cause leadership to be concerned. -- Flying CAP planes is a privilege, not a right

Page 21: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Options for Commanders

Hangar Rash Solutions – cont.

- Consider making ground handling video quarterly refresher requirement- Consider quarterly “Hangar Rash” PowerPoint as refresher requirement- Offer the “offender” pilot and their commander the opportunity to give a series of presentations to all CAP units within 50 miles, even those with with just cadets

Page 22: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Options for Commanders

Hangar Rash Solutions – cont.

- If you are going to use cadets for push back have cadets take the Ground Handling Course that is online- Have cadets view this PPT before they help.

Worn/Blown Tires

Blown tires and excessive wear can be causedby defect, technique, light, heat, cold, or time.

There have been some incidents of these inthis region.

Page 24: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Options for CommandersWorn Tires…These are obvious…

But what about the less obvious?

Pilots Should Know

- Follow the checklists! CAPF 71 & POH- Inspect tires during preflight -- Roll aircraft 1 foot to see under tires too- Inspect tires after landing -- Roll aircraft 1 foot again to check under- Wear lighter boots (more on this in a minute)

- Position seat and rudder distance properly -- Feet on lower rudder pedals, not brakes- Ground aircraft with excessive tire wear

Page 26: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Pilots Should Know (cont.) Worn Tires Solutions – cont.

- Pilots might have to replace tires at their own expense if obvious excessive wear is not addressed during pre-flight- The pilot and their commander may have an opportunity to excel with lectures at other units in their area- Have training material made that discusses what warning signs to look for in tires

Page 27: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Notes on FootwearSome popular boot styles, Jump and Tactical.

Page 28: PCR Re-Focus - Safety Lt.Col. Alex Kay, PCR/SE. Acknowledgments PCR would like to thank the following people in helping to prepare this PowerPoint.: Col.

Notes on FootwearThere may be a link between boot styles and wear on aircraft tires. Very rigid leather combator jump boots might contribute to the lack ofsensation on the rudder/brake pedals leading to the unintentional braking.

There is no direct evidence for this, only anecdotal evidence. More research should bedone to determine if there is a causal link orthat such a link be ruled out.
