BermudAir Flight Operations Risk Register

Bermudair will capture its significant risks within the framework of the ‘Significant 8’, which are
described below. Each risk area will have associated risks and hazards identified within it, and all of
these will have mitigations to counter them.

Significant 8

1. Loss of Control
Risk Hazard Mitigation
Weather Conditions Comprehensive Weather
Briefing, Avoid Adverse
Weather, Real time weather
updates ( weather radar), In
flight decision making,
Compliance with Regulations
and collaborate with ATC.
Spatial Disorientation Avoid visual illusions,
Preflight preparation( review
NOTAMS, weather
forecasts), Cross check
instruments, Manage Stress
and Fatigue, Autopilot use (
can reduce workload).
PS: By integrating these strategies into their flight operations, pilots can significantly reduce the risk
of loss of control due to adverse weather conditions and spatial disorientation and ensure the safety
of the aircraft, crew and passengers.

2. Runway Excursion
Risk Hazard Mitigation
Collisions and Impact Pilots undergo extensive
Runway Overrun training to handle various
Weather conditions LDG and Takeoff scenarios.
Incorrect landing Calculate ePerf correctly.
configuration Airports implement safety
Braking malfunctions measures to maintain RWY
RWY Surface Conditions surfaces and ensure proper
Pilot Error signage and lighting.
Poor Visibility Additionally, airlines and
regulatory authorities
continually work to Improve
procedures and technologies
to enhance RWY safety and
prevent excursions.
3. Controlled Flight into Terrain
Risk
Poor Visibility
Terrain Awareness and
Warning Systems
Pilot Distraction
Navigation Errors
Flight Crew Fatigue
Non precision Approaches
Inadequate training
4. Runway Incursion
Risk
Collisions
Loss of lifes and property
Damage
Disrupted Airport
Operations
Increases Workload for ATC.
Damage to Reputation of
the airline
Reduced Safety Margins
PS: By prioritising runway safety and maintaining vigilance on the airport surface, the
aviation industry can significantly reduce the risks associated with runway incursion and
enhance overall flight safety.
Hazard Mitigation
Follow the SOPs, good CRM,
Enhanced training(
comprehensive training
programs that focus on
situational awareness, flight
path management and the
proper use of onboard safety
systems like EGPWS) and
Compliance with Regulations.
Hazard Mitigation
Comprehensive training for
pilots on RWY safety
procedures and awareness.
Clear communication
between ATC and pilots to
ensure safe RWY crossings
and clearances.
Strict adherence to SOP and
guidelines related to RWY
operations and movement
on the airport surface.
A robust safety culture that
encourages reporting and
learning from near miss
events to prevent future
incursions.
5. Airborne Conflict
Risk
Reduced Reaction Time
Complexity of Airspace
Lack of Visual Awareness
Communication Errors
Weather Conditions
Human Error
Congested Airspace
PS: By Implementing these safety measures and maintaining a strong safety culture, the
aviation industry aims to reduce the risk of airborne conflicts and ensure the safe
coexistence of aircraft in the skies.
6. Ground Handling
Risk
Personnel Safety
Aircraft Damage
Collision Hazards
Jet Blast
Foreign Object Debris(FOD)
Weather Conditions
Aircraft loading errors
Communication errors
Time pressure
7. Airborne and Post-Crash Fire
Risk
Loss of life
Rapid Spread of fire
Toxic Smoke and Fumes
Obstructed Exits
Fuel Hazards
Post Crash Rescue Challenges
Structural Damage
Environmental Impact
Hazard Mitigation
Follow ATC instructions, Use
Vertical speed during climb
in congested airspace ,TCAS,
Follow the SOP, monitorIng
the weather conditions
allows pilots and ATC to plan
routes and altitudes that
avoid areas with potential
weather related hazards.
Hazard Mitigation
Follow the SOP( help ensure a
systematic and safe approach to
ground handling tasks) Safety
Culture ( encourages reporting
of incidents, near misses, and
continuous improvement)
Collaborative Communication
between pilots, ATC, ground
handling.
Hazard Mitigation
Fire Suppression Systems (
engine and cargo
compartments to extinguish
fires quickly)
Fire resistant materials ( the
use of fire-resistant materials
in aircraft construction helps
to limit the spread of fires)
Evacuation training,
Follow the SOP.
8. Onboard Fire
Risk Hazard Mitigation
Rapid Fire Spread Fire detection and
Smoke and Toxic Fumes suppression systems.
Electrical System Crew training(SEP)
Malfunction Emergency equipment,
Structural integrity Maintenance and
Emergency Evacuation inspections, emergency
Challenges response protocols ( airlines
Loss of Control and airports have
Fuel Hazards established emergency
response protocols to
handle onboard fires and
evacuate passengers safely).

PS: Adhering to these safety measures and conducting thorough emergency drills, the
aviation industry aims to minimize the risks of onboard fires and ensure the highest level of
safety for all passengers and crew members.
