AWAL
Safety Policy
The
goal of AWAL is to achieve a zero accident baseline
in warbird operations. To this end, AWAL will strive
to grow a safety culture within our membership that
is coincident with that of the highest standard.
AWAL
has established a safety management system that allows
for the identification and management of risks related
to warbird operations in Australia. This includes the
establishment of a medium to facilitate the reporting
of incidents and accidents and a blame free reporting
culture.
AWAL
has established key performance indicators (KPI's) for
safety, and monitors these KPI's to continually improve
our safety performance.
Whilst
maintaining a blame-free accident reporting culture,
AWAL will not tolerate acts that are negligent or deliberately
unsafe.
AWAL
provides open communication and timely feedback on safety
issues to AWAL pilots.
Every
pilot within AWAL is responsible for ensuring safety
comes first and must:
 |
COMPLY
WITH RELEVANT REGULATORY AND STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS |
|
OPERATE
THEIR AIRCRAFT WITHIN APPROVED PARAMETERS; and |
|
PROACTIVELY
IDENTIFY AND MANAGE RISK RELATED TO THEIR INTENDED
OPERATIONS. |
