Podcasts

Welcome to the Foundation’s podcast page. Below you will find interviews with safety experts from around the industry on a range of topics of interest to aviation safety professionals. New podcasts will be added as they are recorded. The views expressed in the podcasts are those of the speakers, and not necessarily those of the Foundation.

If you have a topic that you believe would be of interest to the aviation community, please get in touch with Vice President, Global Programs, Greg Marshall at marshall@flightsafety.org. Interviews can be conducted in-person at our head office or via Skype.

TCAS Resolution Advisory Safety Study

The European Air Traffic Management Network has a Top 5 Safety Priorities list that includes instances in which traffic-alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS) resolution advisories (RAs) are not followed. A coordinated RA generation and response is an essential safety barrier to midair collisions, but some events reported to Eurocontrol include a failure to follow the RA correctly or failure to follow the RA at all.

As part of a study of the top five priorities, Eurocontrol is asking pilots to complete an anonymous survey to better understand pilot decision making while dealing with a TCAS RA. This survey is not confined to pilots who operate within European airspace.

Pilots will be asked to recall a recent event in which they followed or did not follow a TCAS RA, and the factors that were part of the context or that shaped their decision making.
