Serviceability inspections, zone by zone, with every finding on the map

Lights out by number

Lights are numbered in order along each circuit, so a reporting officer taps the ones that are out on the phone, with or without signal, and the board knows when two next to each other are out.

Australia

The MOS lighting rules by system size: any light out of a system under 4; 2 of 4 or 5; 3, or 2 next to each other, of 6 to 13; above 13, more than 15% or 2 next to each other. A PAPI or T-VASIS with a lamp out is to be switched off. A breach also shows NOTAM required unless it is recorded as fixed before the next use.

ICAO markets

Serviceability objectives by element for CAT I and CAT II and III, no two next to each other, and the stop bar and taxiway centreline rules below 300 m RVR. Elements with no objective use your own.

Per third, with a suggested code

For each third of the runway the reporting officer records the contaminant, the coverage and the depth on the phone, with or without signal. The app suggests a runway condition code from them, labelled suggested: the officer assesses the runway and can enter their own code.

The 25% rule and the routing

On the Australian pack a third with 25% or less covered is reported as 5, WET. WET goes to ATC only; standing water, slippery wet and other contaminants go to the NOTAM Office and ATC, or to pilots on the UNICOM or CA/GRS. The officer ticks where it was sent, and a report not recorded as sent stays on the board.

Braking action

Braking action reported by pilots is recorded against the runway. Two consecutive MEDIUM (or worse) reports since the last runway condition report prompt a slippery wet report, on the phone and on the board.

On the board

The runway shows its code by third, the contaminants and where the report went, and a code below 6 restricts it. A supervisor can raise an unplanned inspection for weather that may have changed the runway condition, and a runway condition report meets it.

Escudo suggests the code and records where the report was sent. It never sends a runway condition report.

Observations

Species, how many, where, behaviour, what was done and the light. A significant concentration not dispersed restricts the facility and, on the Australian pack, is a NOTAM trigger until it is recorded as dispersed.

Strikes and the report reminder

A strike with the aircraft, phase of flight, size, damage, engine ingestion and whether the remains were kept. The reminder follows the pack: report to the ATSB within 72 hours, or in Singapore tell CAAS immediately with written notice within 12 hours for an accident and 24 for an incident. A supervisor records when it was reported and the reference.

Attractants and the plan review

Attractant sites within 13 km of the aerodrome with their distance, bearing and when last monitored, and the wildlife hazard management plan review at least every 12 months.

Obstacles and technical inspections

Temporary and new obstacles with their height and position restrict the board until they go. Technical inspections or the manual validation fall due on the interval you choose from your traffic, with a reminder to record the report to the regulator within 30 days.

Reminders only. Escudo never lodges a report with the ATSB, CAAS or any regulator; the operator reports and records the date and reference. Watch the bird strike film.
